Flying Unsafe For Passengers?
I've read reports about cabin crew & pilots having higher than average incidence of cancer due to radiation and sunlight in the skies. Does that also mean flying is risky for the passengers too? And what solutions can anyone think of to solve this health problem arising from flying aircrafts? Maybe a radiation-proof aircraft body (constructed of materials known to withstand radiation) and/or sunlight shields? Thanks for any information regarding this important topic!

Obviously it's not as otherwise, millions of people would be suffering from cancer! Crew members fly a lot more than the ordinary passenger hence the risk for crew is unequally higher.
It's still unproven that there is a risk at all...

Damn, theres reports that your children are at health risk from certain container lids now.
Too many people are trying to wrap todays people in big cotton buds.

Life is a health risk. 5 out of 5 people die.

Depends on the sample too - we asked 5 pilots in a hospital having chemotherapy if they think flying was the cause of their cancer....
The 10 lawyers having chemotherapy wheren't asked since they didn't fit our chosen demographics...

I heard the best definition of good health...
Dying at the slowest possible rate.
I quess the real answer to your question depends upon who the pilot is.

As they say, life is dangerous, it leads to death.
And another quote I just remembered, "A new study shows that all humans, not just smokers, will die!"

A mile of runway takes you to the world. A mile of highway takes you a mile.
