Take a look at airplane accident statistics pre- and post-Regan deregulation.
For the record, I did check some data on airline accidents within the jurisdiction of the US traffic control system.
1969 through 1981 (The year Regan de-unionized ATC)
Total accidents: 59
Annual average: 4.54
1982 to through 2003
Total accidents: 72
Annual average: 3.27
Thus, it would seem that Regan's canning of the ATC union and deregulation had a beneficial effect on the total number of accidents.
I used this for my data, where did you get yours, Ironica?
