I think you make a good point.
Airlines, in recent years, have been putting more pressure on pilots, basically asking a lot more for less and less.
It may turn out that this relatively young pilot may have had any number of stressors in his life caused by the way that we now recruit, train and employ.
Pilots and their employers are constantly in a battle over cost reductions and efficiency savings.
Maybe it's time that we looked after the pilots a bit better and stopped regarding them as a bunch of overpaid prima donnas.
