 |  Pilot Is Number 2 on ... The recent list of the most deadliest jobs in America for 2006. The study was done by the Department Of Labor. I saw it on my local news channel but have not been able to fish the link. #1 was once again industry fishing and #5 was mining. I was surprised to see pilot on that list.

| Re: Pilot Is Number 2 on ... Just think how many of those pilots are safe airline pilots. Then imagine how risky the other pilot jobs must be... |

| Re: Pilot Is Number 2 on ... If I remember correctly, Alaskan bush pilots skew that ranking quite a bit. |

| Re: Pilot Is Number 2 on ... It seems unfair that different pilot jobs are all lumped into the same group, while "industry fishing" is specific. An airline pilot is the equivilent of the weekend bass fisherman, while a bush pilot or drug-smuggling pilot probably equals Fredo going crab fishing with one of the Godfather's goons during hurricane season. It's a stretch, but Godfather II fans would understand.
