Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association
Mr. Alan Brereton:
I can add one more layer to that, again without naming any operator. In one operator we are seeing a spike in the requirement for the peer support group because of the stress of the Covid pandemic. Obviously, we have well aired the stress that the Covid-19 pandemic has placed on pilots and the airline industry as a whole. However, in other operators we are not seeing that. Which would concern us more - an operator that is seeing a spike with people putting their hands up or an operator saying that it has no problem? I know which one I would be worried about.
