The verdict

MDW - Inflight runs at 228% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Scheduled Passenger Air Transportation workplace, earning a grade F.

MDW - Inflight: 10.3 TCR = 228% of Scheduled Passenger Air Transportation BLS 4.5 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

MDW - Inflight safety composite

MDW - Inflight scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 27% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 0%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
