I don’t think anyone thinks Police Officer is the most dangerous job - even cops.

Have you tried "US Presidents"? With a 10% chance of getting assassinated on the job?

Those are amateur numbers. Trump will raise them

wtf are pilots doing on that list? it has to be one of the safest professions, unless you count military ones and even then i am not sure it applies.

garbage men? are they fighting radioactive mutated rats, or what? fishermen? do they get drunk, fall into water and die, or what? truckers? what? why?

this comics is garbage.

Pilots are actually way more likely to die then you think. You're just thinking of commercial airlines. But the smaller planes go down a lot more often.

[-] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip -5 points 2 days ago

small planes go down often. that is because these are hobby pilots who don't have enough training, practice, and oversight. but we are talking about JOBS here and professional pilots are one of the best trained, constantly retrained and scrutinized groups in the world.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

There are a ton of JOBS involving those little tiny planes.

[-] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip -3 points 2 days ago

yes, ton of jobs involve small plane. but when there is an accident of small plane, it is usually the hobby pilot for the reasons stated.

sure, there are some bush pilots in america, but the data in that usa today article make no sense. they compare some deaths to a sample of 37k pilots. there are about 300k holders of cpl or atpl in usa. i don't trust that article at all, it is tabloid bullshit.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I have no idea what USA Today article you're talking about. Or why you continue to just spout nonsense. There's tons of crashes involving things from tours to surveys to crop dusting to flight instructors, that's way more common you might think, even small transport. Pilot death is very high compared to other jobs. This is an incontrovertible fact.

I have no idea what USA Today article you’re talking about.

i am talking about the article that was linked in this thread as the source of the data.

This is an incontrovertible fact.

of course it is, darling. hey, there is johny and jimmy, both are pilots and jimmy died last year. the mortality among pilots skyrocketed into 50%!

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I don't see any article linked by op and I don't see any article linked by you so I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. If you're having a conversation with a different individual who linked an article then talk about it with them. If you want to talk about with me then you should link it yourself.

The second half your comment is so brain dead I'm not even going to dignify it with a response.

If you want to talk (...) with me

this one is easy. i don't. you started talking to me. and i don't feel it was very useful.

The second half your comment is so brain dead I’m not even going to dignify it with a response.

don't worry you don't get it. stay in school and maybe one day...
