T&Cs have degraded for years where as in politics MPs have got fatter. I'm not saying they don't have responsibility as they do, its just their responsibility is diluted and often shared amoung their peers. Airline pilots do not have this luxury all we have is the trust and the competence of they guy/gal sat next to us and we are responsible for the safety of everyone on board. The amount of time an average jet pilot spends at 37000ft is increasing along with all those pressure changes as we climb and descend... All of which must not be advantageous to the physiology of the human body.
Dangerous responsible jobs should come with a price that reflects this but unfortunately we are all selling ourselves short... and until there is a collective movement across the whole industry this will not change.
Just my 2cents
