I have been looking for the statistics on aircraft reliability and aircraft refusals of the other carriers. I can't find them. We share FOQA data, but not sure about this. I would love to see statistics on fleets, not just airline operators. For Example: The B-767 300, the B-767 400, the B-757 300. Etc. After that, in order to drill into the numbers, I would like to see the dispatch reliability and mx reliability rates for the following: Domestic/International, South America, ETOPS, Night, Ice, short runways, Low IMC, etc.
In order to drill into the generic 2 per week, you need to know the type of operation and then look into the circumstances. We've got super-cool spreadsheets and pie charts on all sorts of stuff. Lets see some data on the numbers to help explain the numbers. Make sure there's a slice of pie in those charts for MX.
