Stress and People

Do the people sound stressed?

I found pilot Sullenberger in a little bit stress but he is very calm and exactly knows the situation he is dealing with. Ground tower staff seems ok, they are not stressed out and I found everyone is doing their job properly.

Do you feel stressed as you watch this animation?

No I didn’t feel any stress, when I was watching the video. They are professional and they how to deal the situation. We cannot control all the things and situations every time. May be its better to remain calm in bad situation and try to think how to get out of that bad situation rather than panicking and make things worse.

How are people able to handle this kind of severe, but short-term, stress?

I think it depends upon the people, in what kind of environment and surrounding they are grown up. Some people know how to deal with the stress for example related to their job. In this context pilot, crew and ground staff know how to control and make themselves calm in this kind of situation. It’s a part of their training.

Is this relevant to handling long-term job stress?

People who are related with flying industry they know how to handle things and things calm during bad situations. They have lot of training behind them. Especially a pilot knows, he is the most responsible person during flying and he should knows how to handle stress.

Malaysian Airlines is a recent example for us. I think there is long term job stress on the directors and senior management of the Airline to carry on the business without any further loss. But from the pilot view now days they have to make sure that no more accidents. They are extra careful and by taking some extra carefulness it means some stress until the things don’t become normal.
