   Yeah.   
      
   For me, I want to know the chance I will die on this flight, and the only   
   significant figure is the number of fatalities per passenger flight. Any   
   figures given per 100,000 hours, a favourite of the aviation industry, are   
   just damned statistics - they may even be true, but they don't compare   
   apples and apples.
