Can Low-Cost pilots make it to retirement?

This may be a trivial question and we might never really know the answer but I'll ask it anyway:
The reality of the day to day work of an airline pilot has changed tremendously since the introduction of Low-Cost carriers. Lots of sectors, long shifts, being stuck in the same type all your career etc...
Is the human body capable of coping with that til retirement?
If the answer is even remotely no then we've got a huge problem.
Flying for such an airline, all I hear is talk about fatigue.
