Surely no long haul pilots go to work thinking they’ll live just as long as their twin brother the accountant who makes the same money working twice as many days but sleeps in his bed every night? By all means hammer the company to make it as safe as reasonably possible but much of it is unavoidable.
Careful there Patty, are you now acknowledging that there is a causal link between long haul flying and disease, leading to premature death?
If that is so it is a breach of workplace, health and safety requirements.
That an airline accepts the causal linkage, yet knowingly excludes the crew exposed to repeated long haul risks will have litigation lawyers frothing at the mouth.
This is why provided nobody checks and fails to collect the data, airline management can hand on heart, pinky swear state to the court, that they didn't 'knowingly' expose crew to the increased risk.
