The EU has scientific evidence showing that its current pilot fatigue law is potentially unsafe.

Yet, this evidence is not sufficiently reflected in the latest proposal for new EU-wide fatigue rules, issued on 18 Jan. 2012.

If not changed, the proposed new pilot fatigue rules will affect safety levels in Europe and put passengers’ safety at risk.

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), who drafted these rules, must focus on safety. We should not wait for a fatal accident to change direction!

EU decision-makers must wake up and resist the airlines’ lobbying. They must make Passenger Safety their Number One Priority!
