First of all there should not be a comparison between these two roles as they are meant for different purposes. Fighter is for fighting the enemy with a single man and with lot of weapons carrying with him. Commercial pilots are also at risk due to weather conditions and other aspects. Fighter plane more faster than commercial planes. Passenger safety is given more priority as they paid for that trust kept on pilots fighter pilot has trust and responsibility of more people as he has to safe guard the defence of the country. More and more care is taken for fighers also but risk like bird hits and other aspects also involved in both planes.
