Why not start a family now, to play it safe
Side note: I've actually flown with captains who were uneasy about climbing to FL380, concerned with radiation.
Actually same here, have flown with colleagues that would prefer not to.
I presume climbing high but farther away from the poles should not be nearly as bad. I know guys that fly private charters etc fly even higher. We have all flown with guys that are significantly older and just starting a new family with their third wife
My issue is trying to stay away from the higher latitudes, and also looking to see if others can shed light through their own experiences.
The short haul does not sound too bad anymore. Lower levels, much farther away from higher latitudes, and similar time zones! Yep
