Incidents / Number of Flights

Not sure what constitutes an incident since I haven't heard of any with JB lately. Probably includes aborts and diverts.


I imagine that this produces a near random ranking from year-to-year since I think most majors have equivalent safety systems.

It's possible that fleet type or age makes a difference, if you have a lot of mechanicals which require aborts or diverts that could skew your numbers. Although they have newer buses...

This could also be deceptive...maybe JB pilots are just more conservative about aborting/diverting and are less likely to press on with a technical issue.
