I'd suggest that everyone needs to take a couple of deep breaths and approach things carefully, whether they be long-haul, short-haul or GA. Over the past 22 months lots of pilots have not only been deprived of an opportunity to practice their craft, but have experienced great uncertainty over their futures. Many have also found themselves unemployed and/or in very distressed financial circumstances, with all the personal stress that results from the above.

Checkers need to be mindful of this and give pilots as much time as they need in the sim, and employers cannot assume that everyone will just slip back into the groove in minimum time. We also need to carefully evaluate our personal minimums; remember there is no always the option of going around or diverting.
