My response is as professional as the nAAtives who've referred to TWA pilots as "KMart pilots."
Many of those instances aren't due to "luck" but pure stupidity. While I'll cut the BDL crew a little slack due to the conditions (though using an incredibly flawed altimeter procedure, IMHO), the acts of LIT, Cali, DEN, and SEA could have all been avoided. Luck didn't get them into that situation--it shouldn't have to get them out.

stlflyguy... puh-leeze bro. Can you tell us all something we DIDN'T know instead of using AA's accident record to vent your frustration about the acquisition?
The NTSB has been more than clear in admonishing "pilot error" verdicts in each of the above cases. We already know as much. We also know that ALL of these accidents have happened at other airlines as well, not just AA.
Just what is your point in bringing this up, anyway? Do you desperately HAVE to resort to the streak of bad luck that resulted in deaths, to justify your anger? Because there are far more civilized ways to do so.
