I think this problem needs to be addressed urgently and it exists in a number of professions.
I did 7 years of medical training and now I'm a resident doctor barely scraping the 70k mark, with huge stretches of unpaid overtime and 70+ hour weeks. There's no gravy train here. God forbid that doctors come forward and talk about their mental health struggles either. It doesn't often go down well.
It's interesting that our profession is then so rough on pilots as well.
I'm not surprised a few of my colleagues have knocked themselves off in the last couple of years.
