What can you do to avoid being flown by a pilot who is under stress?
Ask yourself is the new flight time limitations reasonable? (Hint, they are not)
Ask yourself is the cheap ticket I am buying truly representative of the cost of transport?
Ask yourself does this airline subscribe to Pay to Fly?
Ask yourself does this airline use fair and reasonable employment practices? Namely a fair full time contract, not zero hour.
Is it fair that a pilot can break a leg/have a heart attack/cancer, be treated, supported and allowed back into the flight deck whereas if he/she is too concerned about "feeling down" he/she keeps quiet and bottles it up for fear of losing their job?
BTW - that goes for any one with a mental illness.
There you go. There's a few things you can do.
Shack37, yes, agreed and that is so sad.
