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). Interesting that you elected not to include a link to the actual findings. -Robert |

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, on page 5 of the report he http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/cfoi.pdf "Aircraft Pilots and Flight Engineers" appears second on a list of "Selected Occupations with high fatality rates, 2006", having 87.8 fatalities per 100,000 employed, and 101 total fatalities in 2006. The list does not specify that being a pilot is the second most dangerous occupation in the country. That was editorialized by the CNN reporter. |

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. On page 4 of the report you reference, the most dangerous occupation by industry sector is agriculture in terms of fatalities per 100,000. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

Yet another case of a misinterpretation of statisitics... If you look further in the document, you'll see that there are 101 deaths listed under "air transportation worker." I have a feeling that "flight engineer" includes such people as baggage handlers. If you look at the definitions of the way they include people in this census, the person must have been employed at the time of the fatality. I mean, come on, they have 3 of the 15 "computer specialists" dying on the highway. Must be geeksquad guys getting in accidents. Not only that, but they include 13% of the deaths as violent (homicide... and even suicides.) Are you telling me that because a bunch of dimwits kill themselves on the job, the job itself is dangerous? Not going to state the obvious about the person initiating the thread.... -- Doug Semler a.a. #705, BAAWA. EAC Guardian of the Horn of the IPU (pbuhh).

Piloting is the second most dangerous occupation
On page 4 of the report you reference, the most dangerous occupation
by industry sector is agriculture in terms of fatalities per 100,000. Damn. No wonder the Flying Farmers died out as an organization... ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
