I can see it now: "Fly America West. No crashes, no accidents, no hijackings in 384 days."

The problem is that flying is already so safe that
1) One incident can make a major swing in the stats -- you can go from going first to worst with one crash, as the Concorde did.
2) There really isn't much differentiation on safety between the commercial carriers on similar flights.
