I'm a glider pilot, and I'm close to stalling every time I fly. It's just something that's part of the regular procedure: You recognize when it's about to happen, and take the appropriate action (which is to ease down on the stick and maintain correct angle of attack). If you're at a reasonable altitude, there is no danger involved. However, I'm pretty sure that an airliner operating regularly practically never approaches a stall condition.
