    Pilots are actually way more likely to die then you think. You’re just thinking of commercial airlines. But the smaller planes go down a lot more often.

      small planes go down often. that is because these are hobby pilots who don’t have enough training, practice, and oversight. but we are talking about JOBS here and professional pilots are one of the best trained, constantly retrained and scrutinized groups in the world.

          yes, ton of jobs involve small plane. but when there is an accident of small plane, it is usually the hobby pilot for the reasons stated.

          sure, there are some bush pilots in america, but the data in that usa today article make no sense. they compare some deaths to a sample of 37k pilots. there are about 300k holders of cpl or atpl in usa. i don’t trust that article at all, it is tabloid bullshit.

            I have no idea what USA Today article you’re talking about. Or why you continue to just spout nonsense. There’s tons of crashes involving things from tours to surveys to crop dusting to flight instructors, that’s way more common you might think, even small transport. Pilot death is very high compared to other jobs. This is an incontrovertible fact.

              I have no idea what USA Today article you’re talking about.

              i am talking about the article that was linked in this thread as the source of the data.

              This is an incontrovertible fact.

              of course it is, darling. hey, there is johny and jimmy, both are pilots and jimmy died last year. the mortality among pilots skyrocketed into 50%!

                I don’t see any article linked by op and I don’t see any article linked by you so I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. If you’re having a conversation with a different individual who linked an article then talk about it with them. If you want to talk about with me then you should look at yourself.

                The second half your comment is so brain dead I’m not even going to dignify it with a response.
