Scroll down to the bottom -- "aircraft pilot" is listed as the
second-most-dangerous job!

Most of that doesn't come from the airlines, though. Airline flying is
pretty safe. The dangerous flying is professional GA. And that's
still way safer than personal flying - which is more dangerous than
even cropdusting.

So yes, absolutely flying is dangerous - and personal flying
(non-instructional, non-business) is the most dangerous of all.

Check out the Nall Report - it's all there.
