Default Piloting is the second most dangerous occupation

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


The general public should continue to believe professional flying is
dangerous, and the danger should equate to better pay for professional
pilots.


While I can agree with the sentiment, there are two things wrong with
this.

First, pilots aren't payed by the general public so for that part
what they believe is irrelevant.

Second, if the general public believes flying is dangerous, flying
goes down the tubes along with the pilot jobs.
