From the very foundation Vladivostok Air pays great attention to an extremely important problem of protecting health of the employees on whom the safety of flights depends. This task has acquired yet more importance now, when the constant growth of the company leads to the increase of burden on the company?s air crews — with the increasing number of flights including the night time ones and mastering new types of aircrafts. These factors are sure to influence pilots? and stewards? mental and physical health.
For the company, it is also significant that providing for professional longevity of pilots and stewards helps reduce the cost of training of pilot crews. It is well known that training of each pilot is a very expensive process, thus professional pilots are considered a "custom-built produce" worldwide being highly appreciated by any air company.
In order to prolong professional life of pilots, Vladivostok Air has equipped the company’s sanatorium with the modern diagnostic and rehabilitation equipment. Psychologist work to help pilots and stewards lessen their psychological burden through a series of relaxation séances.
A recently purchased recreation capsule "SpectraColor 2000" is a significant addition to these efforts. It was the second time that this America-produced equipment was purchased by a Russian air company. The first one has been successfully used in Sheremetyevo recreation center for over 8 years following the recommendations of the Chair of Aviation and Cosmic Medicine. The capsule is unique in its being multi-functional: within one séance pilots enjoy dry sauna, vibratory massage, ion air shower, audio- and visual stimulation, aroma-, light-, and music therapy at the same time. These major systems help recreate biorhythms, relieve chronic fatigue syndrome, and stabilize health in general. A few séances in the capsule will eliminate depression, correct weight, detoxicate an organism and even improve complexion.
The most important thing is that through the capsule the company can control and improve emotional state of the crews which will provide for additional flights safety.
