Damn. No wonder the Flying Farmers died out as an organization...

Just imagine what the fatality rate must be for pilots at fish farms...

Not to mention Pilots at Fish Farms that are burning...

The flying fish fryer farm is on fire?

That was back on Friday, the fifth of February. Four miles from Fresno.


Flippin' funny, fellas; flippin' funny.

What I find interesting is this: You have expressed that you choose not to
believe anything published online by pilots unless it is already in line with
your existing preconceived notions - even in the face of supporting evidence.
Yet you believe (and even spread) information presented online as truth
because it was published by CNN, even though no supporting documentation was
provided.

I never said anything about what I believed or didn't believe. I said
"according to." I thought the news item would be of interest to people here.

What I find interesting is that almost this entire thread is consumed by
dscussion of me and personal attacks against me, rather than discussion of the
news item that I posted. Whose fault is that?

That, I'm afraid, is an indication of how low your credibility here
has sank. Even when you post a legitimate topic, things go badly.

I personally think it's an interesting topic, but -- so far -- I have
seen no intelligent comments regarding the legitimacy of CNN's
research.

Yours. You have done everything to let your credibility and standing to this
level. Despite ample advice on how to save your sorry behind.

And if you go to http://www.bls.gov/iif/oshwc/cfoi/cftb0219.pdf on
page 14 you find a breakdown:

Airling pilots, copilots, and flight engineers 26
Commercial pilots 75

Guess which sub-part includes crop dusters and fire fighters.

How do you know which subpart includes crop dusters and firefighters?

Because as a licenced pilot he has at least a basic understanding of the
FARs.

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.

I guess we went to different marketing schools :-))
If the general public feels professional flying is dangerous, my
experience as a professional pilot would indicate to me that the gain in
professional pay will be more than offset by the loss in customer revenue.

That's covered in the CFRs.

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).


Good thing it is just a hobby for me then, guess I am completely safe.
