I'd bet against that. Deaths per passenger mile have been decreasing continually for decades: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fatalities_per_revenue_pa...
I prefer deaths per journey.
Aeroplanes fly huge distances, journeys that would not be made otherwise. Makes " Deaths per passenger mile" daft IMO
Might actually be getting better, since takeoff and landing are the most risky and with ETOPS we're doing a lot more point to point and a lot less hub and spoke.
