"We are pleased that the FAA has undertaken the
long-overdue process of reviewing and revising flight and duty time
rules for commercial airline pilots... However, we urge the
FAA to reexamine the rationale for some of the proposed changes.
While some of the FAA's proposed new rules would enhance safety,
others would represent a big step backwards."
