Concorde had a perfect safety record, and in a matter of a couple minutes, it had among the worst.

Numbers of flight operations matter, too, when comparing safety records.

Although I'm not trying to compare it to China Airlines, which is truly among the worst on the planet, EVA has only been operating for a decade, and I'm not certain I would quickly mark them up as one of the best in the world.

Give them some flight cycles before passing verdict.
