Piloting is the second most dangerous occupation

According to numbers released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and CNN, being
a pilot is the second most dangerous occupation in the country (being a
fisherman is in first place).

I would have thought being an idiot would be number one.

Being a pilot and being an idiot are not mutually exclusive.

Wow, you really know how to wind me up don't you, fjukkktard?


I'm so angry right now I may go out and make another cup of tea.

He's just fishing... all part of the obsession with the number one.

Yep, if you slice and dice the data the right way, you do get those
results.

If you go by industry, construction is by far the most dangerous.

If you take out the few high risk piloting occupatations such as
crop dusting and fire fighting, aviation is hardly dangerous.

For real data instead of hype, go to http://www.bls.gov

It is. Only idiots fish in the ocean, fly airplanes, log and mine coal!

Thanks. Good info.

Anthony will never be a pilot, but he certainly is an idiot. They may not be
mutually exclusive, but for him it is more than adequate just being an
idiot.

Viperdoc -

There is a picture of Anthony at http://tinyurl.com/58wun
I think the obvious medical condition depicted explains his assinine
statements in this forum. What is the correct medical term for this
condition?
