Why is the pilot still alive? Not only that, why does he still have his license? liscense.
Statistically speaking, 42,000 may be a small percentage of those flying, but it is a lot of flights for one pilot. Thats 420 flights containing 100 passengers each. Obviously, this is a trick question.
Maybe the year is 1945, and perhaps this pilot was busy carting around soldiers all last year. It was never stated that the people died while in flight.
Originally posted by Remora91i shall not fly after taking your plane, because i don't have a pilot's license and i don't want to go anywhere anyway. not even to the corner store!
I'm a air line pilot. Tomorrow you'll be taking my plane. Only 42,000 people died last year in my plane. Are you still going to fly?
(watch...)
i might try to sell your plane after taking it though since i will not have any use for it.
in friendship,

Lol. Let me restate this...
Pretend I'm a pilot. Millions of americans fly on my plane every day. Last year, 42,000 of them died (not including the people I ran over). Now, tomorrow the majority of you are going to fly on my plane. Are you still going to take it?
(and who cares how I killed them; point is they're dead and I'm not)

according to http://www.driveandstayalive.com, 42 000 americans died on the roads last year, so I'm guessing that is the 'airline' you're talking about. i live in london, england, so don't feel it necessary to own a car - but i do travel on your 'airline' everyday by public transport, so hey - I'll risk it ;-)

Originally posted by Remora91I figured that it was driving deaths you were talking about, but wanted to let you make your point. The big difference between being killed by a pilot and dying driving it that when we are driving we feel that we are in control, not handing our lives into someone elses hands.
Good job. I was wondering when someone would figure it out. 😀
It makes me laugh when people talk of the dangers of certain activities (rock climbing, surfing... even some drugs) because they 'killed 7 people last year'. They forget to mention that last year in the UK alone 7 people died putting their socks on in the morning. Where are the anti sock campaigners?

aye you're right of course, london is horrible. i grew up in the outer hebrides where the air is clear and the roads are magnificent - but that doesn't stop people wrapping themselves round lamp-posts every now and again. i'll stick to my pushbike 🙂
