Still, 4 out of 8 crashes (or even 4 out of 16 pilots involved in those crashes) is a concerning statistic. Anyone have the numbers on Gulfrstream alumni vs non-Alumni in the 121 world? This would suggest that either ~20% of airline pilots have been through Gulfstream or that they are statistically more likely to be in an accident.

**Certain non-fatal pilot-error accidents (like PSA 2495) should probably be included if non-pilot factors (recently installed EMAS) narrowly prevented fatalities.
The commutair 4933 crash landing is pretty concerning. It's rolling the dice landing off a runway no matter how well designed the adjacent landscape is. Could have been much worse.
