Air Canada fatal accidents since 1970 ..
If you’re going to make such a stupid argument . I know you don’t want to believe but when air airline who has been operating for the same amount of time basically has had zero fatal accidents operating in arguably harder conditions they might be doing something right regardless how who’s feelings they might of hurt along the way .

Re: Buffalo airways
Nice try. Let's compare crashes per hour flown or crashes per departure.
AC does hundreds of times more flying than Buffalo. By your logic AC should be crashing a plane every couple months. But it's okay as long as nobody dies.
In the past 10 years at AC, I can think of one crash (YHZ) and one near crash (SFO).
While I don't have data on hours flown at both companies, I'd bet AC has upwards of 1000x fewer crashes per departure and it would look even more drastic per flight hour.

One near crash ? That was almost Tenerife 2.0 but yeah great safety culture .

Re: Buffalo airways
Let me get this straight. Crashes that don't kill anyone are okay at Buffalo. An almost crash that didn't actually crash at another airline is bad safety culture?WrightR2600 wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2024 8:39 pmWell unlike this modern safety culture I value human life …goingnowherefast wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2024 1:03 pm Nice try.

Both are bad indicators, stop defending Buffalo's poor safety record.
