Mental Health and Wellbeing
2020 was a monumental year not just in Aviation. It’s one where many lessons have been learned for the better or worse. The pilot role has always had a higher level of stress than many other jobs. This crisis surpasses 9/11 many times over as a negative impact on the industry. Initially, pilots were very proactive in seeking information and communicating with each other but, as time went on, many withdrew and began to isolate themselves. Many suffered relationship breakdowns, financial ruin, self-medication through substance misuse, and self-harm. Aviation Insider is proud to collaborate with fantastic companies all with an aviation background for pilots and for cabin crew.
Resilient Pilot
Resilient Pilot has supported over 6,000 members since being formed during the pandemic. We are still a volunteer-run, non-profit organisation with a team of over 50 professionals passionate about facilitating the continuous development of our aviators.
Since the beginning of our journey we have been refining and evolving our offering. We are really proud to provide a rich suite of virtual activities that we know are of huge value to your continuous development. The success of our programme means we have attracted funding from The UK Government which means we are able to offer the CRD at a heavily subsidised rate of £30 per month.
We are excited to be to be able to invite an additional 100 members from our community to join our flagship fully inclusive RESILIENT membership.
