What is the Safest Airliner? In the past, we rated the safety of various airliners based on crashes that took place. But because of advancements in aircraft design, safety systems, maintenance procedures, and pilot training, there have been few crashes - and in most cases no crashes - in countries where standards are high. For example, the last fatal crash of a major U.S. airline was in November of 2001. The plane involved is no longer in passenger service. Because the safety of every airliner now in service is so high, it has become impossible to say one plane is safer than another. The National Safety Council website state, "Commercial scheduled air travel is among the safest modes of transportation; the 2019 lifetime odds of dying as an aircraft passenger in the United States were too small to calculate." Source: Todd Curtis, a former Boeing engineer, runs the website airsafe.com which was intended to show - based on accidents - which airliners are safer. The website can't do that anymore. The problem is simply that crashes due to mechanical problems are rare or non-existent. Todd and I talked over the possibility, in the absence of crashes, of still coming up with recommendations. We discussed whether, based on the design of various airliners, we could speculate as to which are better. That idea got nowhere; all the airliners presently in use are well-designed. It's interesting to look back at history. I went to work at Pan Am in 1965. Pan Am was flying 707s and DC-8s all over the world, including into areas where aviation was not well-developed. At Pan Am, we were having a crash every year. The slogan, "Pan Am, the world's most experienced airline," was turned into an insider joke as we said, "Pan Am, the world's most experienced airline reports another experience." At that time, there was a major crash of a domestic U.S. airline every year. Nevertheless, flying was far safer than driving. Since flying was so much safer than driving, we in the aviation industry regarded an occasional crash as inevitable. And, based on the design of these first jet airliners, the training that was possible, and the safety system available, crashes were inevitable at the time. A major part of the problem was the pilots. During World War II pilots were desperately needed for the war effort. Standards were adjusted to meet the need. Some of these pilots later became airline pilots. They were able to get by flying the slow propeller-driven airliners, but flying the jets was another story. The airlines were stuck with pilots who - by today's standards - were not skillful enough to fly jets. Those of us who joined the airlines in the 1960s were trained by the military during peacetime. All of our training was in jets. Standards were extremely high. Those of us who left the military and joined the airlines were often frightened by how the WW II vintage pilots flew the planes. To reduce accidents,
