Any job in the armed forces is dangerous. Obviously some more dangerous than others for example an infantryman in Afghan would be in more danger than a vehicle mechanic based in England. Depends on where you are operating. Obviously pilots have threats in Afghan from SAM's but these are very rare and saved mainly for the protection of high ranking taliban officers. Another example at the moment is Libya, they have more access to SAM's and dedicated fighter aircraft. Realistically with operations at the moment there isn't a massive threat. The RAF has very modern equipment, very effective counter-measures and the danger to a pilot is not very high.
