JOB??? So someone out there has been swiping my paychecks I should be
getting from all this flying... Seriously, I wonder what the number would be if you take out Alaska. Also would like to see part 135 vs. 121.

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. Michael

That doesn't make sense as commercial aircraft travel is considered about the safest form of travel. Of course they could be including crop dusters. PPL would not, or should not be in that category.
