Does it bother anyone that they say flying is the safest form of transportation yet pilot is listed as 3rd most dangerous job? I figured trucker would be up there.
Most pilots who die on the job are flying propeller-driven planes, according to Stephen Pegula of the BLS. So the typical pilot killed in the line of duty is someone flying a crop duster, not a commercial jet.

I was wondering the same thing, but perhaps it lumps together all pilots, meaning all the cessnas, choppers, etc., not just commercial airline pilots.
