I think the ' low-cost ' house of cards will come crashing down sooner than most of us think.

Long term fatigue and stress eats away at your brain relatively unnoticed until it goes all wobbly. I know of a few folks in other professions as well as our own who have fallen off the perch due to a nervous breakdown never to recover, and their history is just like the stuff that is effecting RYR pilots at the moment :

Fatigue

No control over your life

screwed up family life

trying to do the impossible ( 25 minute turnarounds, hanging on to that turd for 12 hours, 5 days in a gut splitting row )

constant testing and checking

fear of the sack

big consequences for missing little things

idiotic procedures introduced by egotistic management orks who love to humiliate pilots

etc., etc..


If the number of personal injury claims due to psychological disorders starts mounting up the business model will collapse and we'll all be off to the sand pit begging for the ' privilege ' of being strapped into a seat for hours of intense boredom.
