Junior doctor, so compare like with like: trainee pilot, who gets paid nothing and who in fact has to spend £60-70k on that training. However, I do agree that junior doctors do too many hours and that is a safety issue which is coming more to the fore, in fact I thought those kind of hours had already been restricted for junior doctors? Fact is that the errors made by these doctors had remained hidden for years and hence the problem could be denied. Aviation has been regulated for max duty hours for a long time as it would be much harder to hide the fact that a pilot crashed an aeroplane whilst in his 36th continuous hour of work...........
