Burnout in the pilot profession
Notwithstanding ' simple ' fatigue issues, how many of us are suffering from burnout in our careers ?
Novelty worn-off years ago, worries about things going wrong and being too knackered to cope, airlines wiping away all the old protections fought for over many years of sensible negotiating, just sick and tired of sim checks and shift work, fed up with reading endless checklists, and missing family events ?
Piloting today feels more like being a bus driver on the same route in some vast urban sprawl for a never ending eternity.
Be honest, how many of us on pprune are just using the site for pointless grumbling to distract us from the fact that we don't actually like the job that we, expensively, chose ?
