Safest Airplane out there

I really didnt think this thread was that stupid, I thought it might be actually a interesting one. You are entitled to your opinion though. I thought it would be a change of pace thread, not one that is doom and gloom, or full of false rumors. Does everyone else think this is stupid?

The Brakillya? No way. ASA lost 2 airplanes due to prop failiures. Continental Express lost one as well back in the early 90's due to a flight control failure in the horizontal stab. Comair crashed one due to icing as well.

Oh, they actually keep them inside now? I got used to seeing them littering the maintenance tarmac when I was at recurrent! Of course, it has now been a year since I was furloughed, so I don't know what's going on at OH (and I don't think the people there know either!).

Maybe "UnlimitedAkro" hasn't been inverted in awhile!

Big difference between safe and reliable, and I think both hinge on the corporate culture of the company operating them and not necessarily the engineering philosophy that designed them.
