"Dr Perry said pressure to cover up the fatigue problem came from both pilots and airlines: "If many of my colleagues were honest, we ground more people for that problem, but we don't call it that problem."
"Airlines are loathe to admit there is such a problem because that looks bad on them from the company image, and we have had many a company turn round and say that this pilot is malingering, or he has got other problems." Dr Perry says he has recorded fatigue problems as chest infections.
If this is the Truth? that professional Aviation Doctors are lying about this problem, how to get to solve it?

And if the pilotīs "play the game", how will they get better work conditions

How many other things are "covered up"?
