Maybe it is true that airline don't corner the market on workplace stress?
True, EVERY job has their various stressors that go along with it, so nobody can claim that airline employees have it cornered.
But remember during the recession and EVERY BODY likes to say that borderline cliche statement of "well, you're just lucky to have a job"
Which is VERY true, lucky to have a job. But unlike many that had their real first tough time during the recession, those of us in the career felt lucky to have a job since September 12th, 2001. Again, making that statement of "you're just lucky to have a job" seemed cliche. It's wasn't some recent fad of airline workers having a tough time in late 2007 into 2008. Again it'd been going on since after September 11th. Sullenberger made the point more than once at all the various forums/venues in which he spoke.
