Mixtafed you are far far off base my man!! ANY ONE can be overwhelmed to the point the mind can take no more. And no one knows whether it will happen to them until it happens.
I spent several years on an aircraft carrier and I never knew or heard of any of the flight deck crew getting PTSD although their's was a very stressful job. But I can think of some situation where by flight personnel could be subjected to PTSD. In the fire on the Forestal in 1967 the entire fire crew was killed as well as was a number of plane handlers. Before it was over many many people saw some horrible things that very well may have resulted in PTSD. But so did many people in other parts of the ship.
The explosion on the Battleship ( I think it was the New Jersey) about 20 years ago could have easily caused PTSD.

Depends on the job you are task to do and the time you are allotted to perform the job. I was an AE in some various squadrons and mostly up on the flight deck. It was tough at times because of the tempo during flight ops, but the job had to be done Work hard, party hard. PTSD is figment of your imagination.

Anybody can get PTSD, it just depends what you go through. I don't know why, under ordinary duty conditions a flight deck worker would be particularly inclined to get PTSD.

Then again, only people like mixtapefarmer make ridiculous statements about only weak people get ptsd. He probably doesn't even know what it is. Nobody is "prone" to this issue. It can happen to anyone. Just depends on the situation at hand. Having distressing thoughts and issues after seeing your parents getting blown away during a failed robbery attempt at a restaurant doesn't mean you are weak. Not a true story but gets to the point.

Anyone can get PTSD as long as they have suffered from a crisis.
