# Plane crashes are also extremely rare.  So rare that a single month's...

Plane crashes are also extremely rare.  So rare that a single month's worth of data doesn't tell you very much.  During their first terms, there were roughly the same number of crashes under Trump as Biden. https://archive.is/QPyoA Trump terminated about 400 probationary employees, including 130 represented by the union, less 1 percent of the FAA’s 45,000 employees. Maybe Trump policy changes will ultimately have a negative effect, but the changes are so small so far, that it seems highly improbable that they've had any detectable effect on accident rates.
