no opinion involved here, just no numbers.

Let's look, since 1991 (when Colgan was founded) Colgan has had two accidents. Out of about 2664500 flights (bit less then that).

Continental has had 3 accidents (with injuries) out of about 17687900 flights.

The percents are in the last 20 years, Colgan .000000007% of flights had injuries, CO had .000000001%. Both are so small you can't say anything about either.


Now let's look at the last 5 years.

CO had .000000007% of their flights with injuries.
Colgan had .00000001% of their flights with injuries.

From that CO had more.


But as I said, it's so small it doesn't really matter.
