Hello, i am a Commercial Pilot / Instructor and have been flying for a while.I have been flying GA and CFIng for like 3 years and recently started to fly Cargo Jets in the Middle East. Getting so passionate about flying i think i neglected some very basic health considerations of increased health Risks by it.
Now Flying a Jet and averaging a 150-200 hrs per month here, just rang my bell. What are the increased risks being exposed to such an eviroment that,,,,any statistics will be highly appreciated. I wish with everything i have that there is none,,,but thats too good to be true,i hope am wrong
...
Is there a way to be proactive and take such care to avoid any risks drastically? See we are all looking for the High Altitude job .... i am just curious to c whats the total package we get with the job.... the worst thing to happen to a pilot is to survive the plane and get sick in a couple of years,,,Plase advice.
i guess flying a jet is the same anywhere,,,i am surprised how many people never ask about this and hopefully we can get more knowlegeble of what we are actually gettin into by flying a Jet.
I am looking in a long life career in Aviation and hope to make it a reality. This is not a discouragment type of thread,but if any health risks should be condidered and action should be such to keep us healthy to fly till we die!!!! Is that Duable!? I sure hope,,,,I am talking for Aviation related health probs arising from the field it self,,,and not previous personal health issues that prevent flying.
