Pilots fly all year long and are exposed cosmic radiation
In: 8
An average pilot would get about 2.7mS of extra dose a year. That means that fast energetic particles would zip through the pilots body and possibly give them a slightly elevated risk for cancer. You might be able to see this if you compared a large group of pilots to a large group of non pilots. You might see a very small increase in cancer in the pilots. Cancer in these cases would be caused by the particles damaging the cells of the pilots causing them to grow uncontrollably.
