Plus two of those crashes were not the fault of the airline or the pilots ( USAir 427 rudder hardover and USAir 1493 landed on top of while holding in position at LAX ).
The other 3 were and the airline did need a serious safety adjustment that was made in the mid to late -90s. Just like Delta needed in the mid to late 80s after their series of accidents and incidents.

I think you missed my point - which is that just because an airline had a recent crash does not mean they are to be avoided as a possible career option.
