The statistics speak for themselves with the numbers of pilots developing serious long term illnesses significantly higher. They will say that's nothing to do with the type of flying, and quite ironically they sacked all those with sickness in the pandemic anyway.
Always said, it's an acceptable gig short to medium term as an experience provided you have a
robust exit plan but can never be considered as a 'career' as they write on the big banners in hotel conference rooms when they go out selling it.
