@tomh009 Indeed, many jobs are much more dangerous. Some of those are surprising though, who knew being an aircraft pilot or flight engineer was so dangerous, and if that's on the list, how is flight attendant not...
A good question! According to the stats, there were 75 deaths in the air transportation worker category -- and 70 of those were "commercial pilots". My suspicion is that the 70 includes all onboard staff at commercial airlines.
Nope, I'd guess that it's bush pilots. Scheduled airline service is probably one of the most safe activities we can do. General aviation, however, is much less safe. And bush pilots don't have flight attendants.
Anyone else notice the high fatality rate for drivers? Driving is dangerous! It's pretty high consequence for errors.
