You don't understand -- the numbers are not that small because you're correct about your assumption; the numbers are that small because you don't understand the math that you're presenting as fact. Both statistics you've presented are impossible numbers for any airline in the world.

I guess if "the point" you're making is you don't understand statistics, you've succeeded.
