Why ask me for my sources while accepting claims from click bait articles like this one?

Google is your friend.

Probably. Pilots, for some unknown reason, never have physicals for employment or to get licenses. Strange, isn't it?

"Approximately 183 commercial pilots per hundred thousand die each year in the US."

While flying, or at home or in the hospital? And is that 183/year consistent from pre-vax years to now? And what are the leading causes of their deaths now, versus what they were pre-vax? And finally, where did you get the 183 number?

If you are referring to the CDC's numbers here: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/aviation/default.html, it appears that it is in reference to commercial pilots dying in CRASHES, not of heart attacks or strokes in the cockpit or airplane bathroom.

Approximately 183 commercial pilots per hundred thousand die each year in the US.

1.8% annual an I'll bet the average age is 55+ - that number is reasonable. The age-adjusted death rate increased by 5.3% from 835.4 deaths per 100,000 standard population in 2020 to 879.7 in 2021.

It’s only a matter of time somewhere in the world both pilots on the same flight keel over and die or become incapacitated.

Stewardess over the P.A. system: “Attention passengers. Both of the pilots on this flight have died from the vax. We are currently on Ottopilot and looking to find a qualified pilot to land us safely back to Earth. Please, walk to the front and let us know who you are. If your name is Ted Stryker, surely you can’t be serious about flying this aircraft, so don’t come up here.”

Me (walks up to the front): Hello, ladies. I’m a student pilot with almost 40 hours of flying time in a Piper Archer II and a ton of hours on MS Flight Simulator. I was just getting ready to solo.

Stewardess: You’re hired! Here’s your opportunity to solo so land this baby in one piece preferably! The cockpit is all yours. Don’t mind the two dead bodies we’ve moved to the side and out of the way. BTW, we’ll all praying for you. Good luck and God speed!

That’s a snapshot of Alaska Commercial Pilots.

“While this is an improvement from the 1990s, it is still almost 50 times the fatality rate for all U.S. workers and more than twice the occupational fatality rate for all U.S. pilots.”

But you already knew that, didn’t you?

Plus, that’s an occupational fatality rate. It could be that Alaska bush pilot is an extremely dangerous job?

Do 17 people die every 8 months at the same military base?

He doesn’t want to give you his source because he is gaslighting.

Yeah, that’s the wrong kind of “mile high club.”

‘Approximately 183 commercial pilots per hundred thousand die each year in the US.’

while they’re flying...? if not, then a meaningless statistic...

They had a heart attack and then crashed. Science! . . . maybe

No, it is not meaningless. It shows how rare pilot deaths are despite some trying to make pilots a big deal and linking them to vaccines.

That’s right. For the second time. Where did you get the stat from? Did you just make it up? It’s a fair question. But judging by your bombastic sarcastic response, you don’t have one. Just making stuff up as you go along.
