I know an ex BA pilot who always preferred the European routes rather
than Transatlantic as the former had more real flying and he got to go
home most nights!
Probably considerably healthier too. Sitting down for long periods
plus
constant jet lag is very bad for a persons health.
What about radiation levels?
One of the case studies I did when at University was the radiation
levels experienced by Concorde crews (because it cruised at 60,000ft),
so it is something they've been taking into account for a very long
