Message	Here is an interesting article I found while browsing Title : Allied Pilots Association Urges Focus on Safety as FAA Considers Aviation Rulemaking Committee Inputs Short Decription : ‘The goal of any regulatory change should be to enhance safety.’ <br> The Allied Pilots Association (APA), certified collective bargaining agent for the 11,500 pilots of American Airlines (NYSE: AMR), emphasized the importance of reducing pilot fatigue to enhance safety as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reviews recommendations from an airline industry stakeholder group convened to review flight- and duty-time regulations. <br> “Pilot fatigue remains the one of the gravest threats to aviation safety, as we have unfortunately seen in recent tragedies such as the Colgan Air accident in Buffalo, New York this past February,” said APA President Captain Lloyd Hill. “Accordingly, we urge policymakers to keep the goal of reducing pilot fatigue foremost in mind as they consider the recommendations of the Aviation Rulemaking Committee. <br> “Any increase in the amount of time pilots are scheduled to be at the controls in a given duty day will only serve to exacerbate pilot fatigue,” Hill said. <br> The FAA convened an Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) in July comprised of labor, industry and government representatives and tasked the participants with conducting a comprehensive review of current flight-time and duty-time regulations. An APA representative was among the ARC’s participants. <br> Hill cited the importance of “planning for the worst” as airline industry regulators assess the ARC’s recommendations.
