Its safer to be a truck driver than an aircraft pilot?! If true this is yet another reason to boycott the airlines.
ReplyDeleteI'm confused by the aircraft pilot listing. It looks out of place to me. Must be non-commercial or something. Crop dusters? Air show pilots?
DeleteHave you thanked a logging worker today?
ReplyDeleteWow, amazingly police or fireman aren't in there (severe hint of sarcasm)? You mean our "heroes" aren't so heroic?
ReplyDeleteI don’t see police offices on the list. Does that mean we don’t have to thank them for their service any longer?
ReplyDeleteYou forgot Economics Blogger.
