Airline pilots are not healthy, especially the long haul ones. They eat poorly, sleep poorly, and rarely exercise. They essentially sit at a desk job for hours. The fit ones are the highly motivated individuals that would be healthy in any career field. Fortunately, the jibby-jab doesn’t discriminate it will kill them all equally, without remorse.
On paper, but in reality a class one medical is not that intense, just about anyone could pass one, passing one doesn’t make you healthier than most. However, being fit increases your chances of passing, after all, your career is riding on the flight doc signing off on your medical. The regulations for managing sleep sound good, but in reality jet lag and crew fatigue are still an issue and plague the aviation industry. Sleep cycles and airline schedules do not mix well. Only the most senior of pilots can manage it to an extent.
Passing one doesn't make you healthy, duh. Passing one every year shows that you're healthy. It's the whole fucking point of requiring the physical. If you consecutively pass a class a physical, you're not going to drop dead unexpectedly.
And again, 6 hours per day, 30 hours per week, max. You can adjust a "sleep cycle", which is 3-4 hours, to fit into an 18 hour per day off period even if you do 2 back to back 6 hour shift. And even then, it's not 6 hours of gear up time. It's 6 hours of cockpit time.
The most senior pilots do it because the positions are highest paid and based on senority.

Absolute fcking rubbish. They are required to ahve zero health issues, even high blood pressure rules them out. They eat extremely healthy, are typicaslly very fit and active individuals who get an opitmal amount of sleep.
“Why should I come to work and have other co-workers that come make me sick?”
Fuck I hate retards. If you're vaccinated and the vaccines worked, then YOU WOULDN'T GET SICK FROM UNVACCINATED PEOPLE BECAUSE THAT'S THE FUCKING POINT OF VACCINES.

The Bait and switch gaslight is 'No silly, of course you can still get sick, but vaccines have been clinically shown time and time again to reduce severity and thus likelihood of hospitalization and death'. Could despise these fckers anymore than i do.

They fly 30 hours a month, max, with intensly stringent work schedules that forbid being overworked in any sense of the word.
