ALPA Readies for Pilot Fatigue Rule

New Regulation Expected in August
July 14, 2011 - The Federal Aviation Administration has pledged—and federal law mandates—that in August the regulator will issue a final rule on flight- and duty-time limits and minimum rest requirements for U.S. airline pilots. The new regulations will be the culmination of years of work by the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA), to engage the airline industry in developing modern duty and rest rules for pilots.
