Union Says Implementation Is Long Overdue
The Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA) has called on Transport Canada to revise their recently announced recommendations for the implementation timeline of new flight- and duty-time regulations to no more than one year for all professional pilots in Canada. ALPA expressed concerns after the country’s transportation regulatory agency announced long-overdue regulations on managing flight crew fatigue, but issued differing timelines, as long as four years, for final implementation of the new rules depending on airline operations.
