Health concerns for frequent flyers

Columbia University have released a report that the BBC Fast Track feature indicates that if you fly more than 14 days a month you will be more stressed, fatter, all vital signs will be 50% worse than optimum.

So if thats a concern for C class passengers, who are encouraged to eat badly, drink, and basically be stressed by being a passenger in today air traffic environment What about the crews, flight deck and cabin.

How long before the stresses are recognised...................next accident.???

IMHO, commanding a flight was less stressful than being a passenger
