Supports 'Safe Skies Act of 2013'
The Air Line Pilots Association, Int'l (ALPA) has reiterated its support for immediate passage of the Safe Skies Act of 2013 that would end the "cargo carve-out" and help ensure that every pilot is a well-rested pilot. "As we learn more about the events leading to the UPS crash in Birmingham, Alabama, it is becoming more apparent that separate rest requirements for cargo and passenger pilots is unsustainable, unsupportable, and unconscionable," said Capt. Lee Moak, president of ALPA.
