Business group: Scrap pilot rest mandate - The Hill's Transportation Report
The nation’s largest business group is urging the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to reject a proposed regulation that is intended to guard against fatigue among pilots.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce preemptively pushed back against proposed Federal Aviation Administration regulations that would strengthen the rest requirement for flight crew-members.
