What next: good point, I’d alao go along with wiggy on his statistical point while highlighting that an occupational link is likely to cause UNDER-reporting since a pilot contracting a serious medical issue will lose his medical and cease to be a pilot
Its also worth noting that the Besco report dates back a quarter of a century and samples pilots who flew in a far more gentlemanly era in terms of workload than today. Also the conclusion is not supported by their figures since they compare professional pilots to the general white male population as opposed to those professionally qualified who are expected to live on average 7-8 years longer. Surprised this escaped wiggy since he seems quite hot on statistical protocol.
