Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association
Mr. Alan Brereton:
The way it is structured at the moment in one or two of the operators is that the peer support group will keep us briefed on the level of activity among a certain pilot body. They will say they are seeing a spike with financial issues and marital issues because of the stress of people being at home. Pilots were effectively grounded for two years with all the issues that presents. We are seeing it very clearly in one operator because of the open culture that exists there. The other operator - we deal with pilots there - is totally silent. They are suffering the same problems and in fact are suffering worse financial challenges because of the way they are treated.
