why havent the rest requirements been increased ? see above answer
why arent their 4 required pilots on ULF's? see above, above answer.
I still cannot believe the way this accident transpired and all the links in the chain that were broken--- from the commute, to the cvr, to the training- or lack thereof?
i mean seriously if all the money thrown at studies/surveys by freaking MD's and phd's say we need these items, then one must ask oneself-- why havent things changed-- and if you think things will change now, you're dreaming.
