Not the appropriate forum but do you want to substantiate the above claim?
Yeah, gladly. Name one measure the FAA has put in place to mitigate fatigue? You do know that fatigue shows up in almost all accident reports as being a factor. Has been this way for a long time. Was part of the Colgan/continental Q400 and I'm sure it will be part of the Asiana report as well.
And the US aviation industry is still unable to implement a watered down version of the UK's AFTLS. This is long overdue, and still not implemented to this day. And on top of it, Cargo carriers are excluded. They took one of the most important parts of these regs (time behind the door) and reduced it by a few hours. No science behind that, just purely commercial. All science says you should have 8 hours of rest per night, but the FAA knows better.
If anyone needs to support their claim, then it should be the individual defending the FAA. I would REALLY love to see that turd polish.
