Sitting down for long periods plus constant jet lag is very bad for a persons health. |

Sitting down for long periods plus constant jet lag is very bad for a persons health. What about radiation levels? Yes, it's a risk of being an airline pilot, but of course it affects all of them, not just long haul. The risk may be slightly greater with long haul. |

One of the case studies I did when at University was the radiation levels experienced by Concorde crews (because it cruised at 60,000ft), so it is something they've been taking into account for a very long time. -- Roland Perry |

Sitting down for long periods plus constant jet lag is very bad for a persons health. Aeroflot got round that by getting crews to maintain Moscow time regardless of where they were in the world. Thats one approach, but the subconcious isn't fooled that easily - if its dark outside then we tend to get sleepy. |
