Which Southwest crashes are you thinking about? They have never lost a passenger in a crash, though one person on the ground was killed in Chicago. There have been two accidental passenger deaths. One was due to engine failure, not a crash, and the other was a passenger who tried to get into the cockpit and died after being restrained.

- andyburke 7y ago^^ this. Southwest has one of the best, if not the best, safety records of all major air carriers.
- Symbiote 7y agoThe point is that Ryanair is the best. They are smaller than Southwest on most (not all) metrics, but in the same ballpark. Their only accident is a bird strike causing 8 minor injuries.
- perl4ever 7y agoHow can you say an airline that is 35 years old is clearly better than one that is 52 years old based on total anything?
- blackflame7000 7y agoAdmittedly I thought they had more than they do because of all the hoopla about 737s. I guess the one recent incident that comes to mind is the broken fan blade incident that killed a passenger. That could easily be attributed to lack of maintenance but it blew over relatively fast. However, the heroics of the captain created a different story.
