This is simply the law of averages, not a safety problem. The biggest airline in the world, during peak summer travel seasons, who flies the most planes per day is bound to experience more problems.

It's just math! If 1 in ever 100, or 1000, or 10,000...... flights has a problem or needs to return to the departure airport UA will be involved more often than any other airline.
