Michelle Doherty raises concerns in the PIA Safety Publication: https://www.theairlinepilots.com/for...l/longhaul.php

1. Cancer Risk:

2. Radiation Exposure

3. Fatigue

4. Stress

5. Self-imposed Environmental Home Stress

6. Psychological Distress

7. Aerotoxic Syndrome

8. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

9. Not to mention the further publications and the latest considerations and recommendations on:

a) Encapsulated Crew Rest and

b) Secure Toilet Facilities

c) Hydration and Physical Motion Exercise

To answer your Question Dragon Man - Neither I or my colleagues have done any QANTAS surveys on ULH flying, nor have we been asked for input by AIPA in regards to ULH flying at this time!
