Isn't it 1%? If the oldest of the 380 has been operating for a year and they were produced at an even rate, their average age should be six months.
I don't know much about car accidents, but 1%/year sounds like a lot. Can one even legally sell a car model if 1% of the cars are going to crash lethally in the first year? Or evne 0.5, or 0.2%?

They mean "c" as in "circa," i.e., about 380 had been delivered.

"C." means "circa", c380 means nothing.
By the time there were c380 Max's built, two of them had already fallen out of the sky (despite operating for only a year). That's c0.5% of the fleet falling out of the sky every 12 months!
Still not too risky on an individual flight, but if you were a pilot across a 40 year flying career those odds start to stack up across your cohort!
Plus it's a bizzare safety stance to try and sell "So what their planes fall out the sky much more than our competitors... It's still safer than driving!"
