Workplace risks not limited just to flying airplanes
Workplace
risks not limited just to flying airplanes
With reference to a recent
letter from Timothy Parker who provided in great detail, a list of 12
airplane fatalities. The loss of any life is terribly sad and of
course, irreversible, but may I remind Mr. Parker that occupational hazard
is not limited solely to the cockpit!
The Georgia Department of Public
Safety reported that last year, metro Atlanta recorded 301 traffic fatalities!
Many of these deaths included innocent commuters simply trying to get
to their workplace. They had no desire to be on crowded, congested hiways
during rush hour, but did so to support families and to meet obligations.
Hazardous? Absolutely! But
a necessary risk to fulfill one's responsibilities. Mr. Parker's unabashed
attempt to gain sympathy for a big pay raise is insensitive, reprehensive
and totally incomprehensible.
