Direct News Source
10-Sep-2010 “RAA and its member airlines have been active leaders in the Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) since it began, and support the approach that would allow pilots more rest and give airlines the flexibility to integrate fatigue science into their scheduling practices.
In fact, RAA's pro-active Strategic Safety Initiative launched in June, 2009 has studied and recommended many actions responding to these challenges.
RAA's member airlines, which provide more than half the nation's scheduled passenger flights, look forward to continuing these critical efforts with the FAA and all stakeholders throughout the rulemaking process."
