Yeah, pure dumb LUCK. In the last 25 years, Southwest has had 17.87 million flights and not one fatal accident. In the equivalent period, American has had 6 fatal accidents, United has also had 6, Delta has had 3. They are so unlucky and Southwest are just so lucky it is unbelieveable.

If you don't like Southwest or their business model Gromit, just say so (in fact, you frequently do). But it is ridiculous to try to make the argument on safety grounds. They are probably one of the safest airlines in the world.
