Please read the link I posted instead of just saying “No.” Your article is specifically talking about commercial airline flights, but mine was talking about any passenger-carrying flight.
- ceejayoz 2y agoYour post says “passenger airline crash”, and your link includes non-crash accidents. I also said quite a bit more than no, including a citation. A C-172 can carry passengers, but is not an airliner.
- angoragoats 2y agoThank you, I have updated my post to be clearer. In the future it’d be great if you’d give the information in this comment in your initial reply. Also, while I did clear up the wording, I stand by my original use of the word “airline,” as most if not all of these incidents (and certainly the most recent ones) were operated by commercial aircraft companies.
- ceejayoz 2y ago“Commercial aircraft” and “airline” remain different things. A cropduster is a commercial aircraft; it is not an airliner. Same for charter planes, sightseeing planes, etc. The FAA regulates airlines as “Regularly Scheduled Air Carriers” under Part 121. Stricter rules, and a remarkably stellar safety record as a result. I was sad to see the streak get broken.
- angoragoats 2y agoMy dude, I (and the other poster you’re replying to) was using the term airline, entirely correctly, in the colloquial sense of the word.
- mulmen 2y agoWest Isle Air is an airline. The 2022 Mutiny Bay DHC-3 Otter crash [1] was carrying passengers. [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Mutiny_Bay_DHC-3_Otter_crash https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Mutiny_Bay_DHC-3_Otter_...

Operating under Part 135, “charter type services”. https://www.faa.gov/hazmat/air_carriers/operations/part_135 https://www.faa.gov/hazmat/air_carriers/operations/part_135 Airlines are Part 121. https://www.faa.gov/hazmat/air_carriers/operations/part_121 https://www.faa.gov/hazmat/air_carriers/operations/part_121
- chatmasta 2y agoHe is doubling down on your point, lol. Surely it supports your argument that it’s been even longer since the last fatal crash.
- angoragoats 2y agoI was not making an argument in my post, and I wanted to be clear that we were both correct but talking about different things.
