Hi all!

Someone referred to Airline travel beeing the safest form of travelling. Yes and thank God it is! But as a proffesional pilot flying 600-1000 hr a year you are a lot more exposed than the general public. So yes, in the long run it may catch up with You! When you have been in the business for a while you will have friends or at least know people that will die from this. I unfortunatly have a couple myself! Ask your accountant how many of his colleagues have died because of their job (leaving out heartattacks)?
I once saw something about pilots beeing more likely to die in a plane accident than a car accident. Then again we are excellent drivers!
Keep it safe Y´all
