It looks like (early data) that if you measure passenger hours flown than you are safer on a commercial carrier BUT (again I'm not done yet) it looks like if you look at flight hours you are safer on a private jet.

IOW the bigs get the advantage of the multiplier of having hundreds of people on board. But - If you look at private jets there are so many of them, that they rack up more safe hours.

So it looks like PEOPLE are safer on the commercial jets but YOU are safer on a private.

Weird huh?
