I can assure you that while there seems to be a jump in incidents, this is not a sign that the airline is doing poorly or is skimping on safety.

Honestly, if most passengers knew what occurred each week at a major airline, they probably wouldn't fly.



The weather has been pretty bad everywhere, so its to be expected that there might be a jump in incidents.

I think I count about 4 reported incidents in aviation, I wonder how that compares to the number of auto accidents today?
