Damn. No wonder the Flying Farmers died out as an organization...
Just imagine what the fatality rate must be for pilots at fish farms...

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 unlike you, I know what airline pilots, copilots, and flight
engineers means.

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

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

No ****.

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.

Thanks for the promotion

Wasn't it obvious to whom it referred?


Well, first I thought you meant me, but now I think it might have been a
bit more freudian.

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).

A soldier on active service in any hotspot around the world would be
so far up there that aviation would look like it is.
Safe !!!!!!!!!

Feelings, yes (but not as bad as some of those blubbering guys you see on
reality tv nowadays --- even my girlfriend calls them sissyboys hehe).

Job, check. Keep that money coming in...

Life? That's debatable, but at least I leave my house on a regular basis

Seriously, back to the subject. The reason I am wondering about these
"workplace fatalities" was more like the cases I pointed out. 20% of the 15
fatalities for "computer specialists" were highway related. Like I said
before, it's enough just to be on the clock. Even if you are in an
accident, commit suicide, or are killed by a disgruntled coworker, you are
included in the statistic. Just because a few geeksquad kids get killed in
car wrecks doesn't mean that "computer specialist" is any more dangerous.

The flying fish fryer farm is on fire?

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

Interesting that you elected not to include a link to the actual
findings.

The CNN article didn't provide one, as far as I could tell.

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.
