Bacon Torpedo how could you compare a pilot to a bus driver etc?
Methinks you are on the wind up.
BTB tries compare a pilot to a surgeon but I think there is no basis for a comparison.
A surgeons task carries infinitely more risk to the
one individual he's operating on, after all risk on most major surgery runs at about a 2% fatality rate. Most of us wouldn't put ourselves into the air if it carried a 2% risk of death
However I work for the same employer as BTB and probably Colonel Klink and I fully sympathise with their sentiments.
