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.
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 am talking about the article that was linked in this thread as the source of the data.
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%!
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.
this one is easy. i don't. you started talking to me. and i don't feel it was very useful.
don't worry you don't get it. stay in school and maybe one day...
Pretty big admission there fella. I agree completely. People who behave like you do in public forums aren't very useful.
whatever you need to keep your face, kid. (you are in my blocklist, no need to answer anymore)
