The few things that caught my attention are that the pilot error accident rate has declined sharply since airlines have paid more attention to CRM training.
Although the overall rate has remained stable, the decrease in pilot error accidents has been made up in other areas like accidents involving ground crews. Guess which type causes more deaths. That's why the fatal accident rate has gone from 6 per 10 million departures in (1986-1996) to 2 per 10 million departures (1996 - 2006).
They even give a mention to age toward the end of the article citing a John Hopkins study showing age not a factor in the accident rate.
