This book seeks to contribute to a psychological perspective to aircrew wellbeing and help aircrew to acquire an understanding of how to better manage the many challenges arising from sleep deprivation and frequent absence from friends and loved others at home.

Aircrew are in many ways a unique occupational group. Their frequent travels across the world often result in long periods away from partners, family, and friends at home. When this is compounded by irregular patterns of work and difficulties with planning ahead, there is a consequential lack of investment in personal living. This book provides a range of practical guidelines on how to overcome aircrew work-life inferences and offers an in-depth consideration of the various aspects of aircrew lifestyle that can challenge a person's emotional wellbeing.
