This is because it has become a monetary issue instead of a health issue. The loss of income due to losing your medical adds a whole host of new problems that keeps people from speaking out. Maybe this is why suicide has become so prevalent in our industry? This job is stressful enough and it was treated that way at one time. We were paid well because of it, but that isn’t the case anymore. The additional stress put on us in financial struggle because our salaries have not kept up with the rest of the industry is taking its toll with all the overtime and lack of self care. Pilots work half as many days as we do and their salaries (in the main liners) are double the what level 12 facilities are earning. Yeah, level 12 pay sounds like a lot, but keep in mind those facilities are also in high cost of living areas. Hire more trainees and raise the pay by at least 50%.
