This is such baloney.
Fatal plane crash rates by model
The A320-line of planes (includes A318, A319, A321) log 0.10 deaths per 1 million flights. The Boeing 737 logs 0.28 deaths per million flights! Newer variants of the 737 pull even with the A320, but nowhere do we see the Airbus planes with a worse record in terms of deaths/flights.
Speaking of stats, can someone tell me how many hours the average airliner flies before it is retired? Looks like 95% of the A320s are still flying!
