EASA and the EU Commission have agreed to some research into the new FTL regime. This review was one of the concessions we(Balpa) extracted from EASA during our Wake Up campaign.
The research is going to start with a survey of commercial air transport pilots, and that is live now.
You can fill in the survey here.
This survey will allow the researchers to identify the two most pressing “fatigue hotspots” out of a list of six.
BALPA and the European Cockpit Association (ECA) are encouraging you and pilots from across Europe to take part. This is your opportunity to ensure pilots' concerns are fed directly into EASA's review. We fought hard for this concession; don't let it slip by.
The survey closes on 11th April, so your input is needed as soon as possible.
