planes vs cycles

As far as the number of seats in the airplane affecting the cost of the
insurance, that's exactly the kind of "passenger" risk calculation that the
insurance companies are doing that I'm talking about. You are just making
my point with that statement.


Maybe we're saying the same thing different ways. I thought it would go
without saying that a crash that kills 300 is 300 times worse than a crash that
kills 1. My point was that it doesn't increase the likelihood by itself.

Now, if I were going to fly a jetliner, and one airline uses 30 seat airplanes,
and the other uses 250 seat airplanes, and they fly the same number of
passengers per year, and they each have one crash per year, I'd fly the smaller
planes. But this comes right out when you look at trips per year.
