A total of 111 pilots died in the first eight months of 2021. This is a 1,750% increase on 2020, when the world was supposed to be in the middle of a pandemic.

A list of the deceased individuals was published in the Air Line Pilot Association magazine. In comparison, there were 6 airline pilot deaths in 2020, and only one death in 2019.

That's an absurd misinterpretation of those numbers that's been debunked long ago. The numbers show how many deaths were reported to the magazine for that issue (Oct 2021 I think). So someone belatedly reported one death of a pilot from 2019.

The publisher of the magazine actually said that in reality more pilot deaths were reported in 2019 than 2021.

Out of merits (but you don't need any...).

Many thanks, suchmoon, for pointing out the misinformation posted.
