I recently watched a segment on the long hours pilots are required to remain on duty and stories of pilots falling asleep at the controls, one of which led to a crash on final approach, the pilot had been on duty for 19 hours! They even mentioned how a American pilot when told the airline he couldn't fly because he was too tired, he was supended for 3 months and later signed an agreement basicly saying that if he did that again, no more job.
But aparently there's no FAA regulations limiting on duty time, do the unions or airlines have any policy on this?
And any of you out there who deal with long duty hours, how do you cope with it?
