    I am wondering about the accuracy of your safety statistics as the Germanwings airline is shown as being fatality free whereas everyone knows that one of their pilots committed suicide in 2015 killing everyone on board. I would appreciate your comments please.

    Dear Ann: You raise an excellent question. It is industry standard that suicides, acts of war and terrorism are not counted in safety stats. Thus we are simply following the industry convention. Kind regards, Geoffrey Thomas Editor-in-Chief
