Pilot Fatigue
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2000-10-30/pilot-fatigue
Pilot fatigue has been implicated in fatal airline crashes, yet even today, pilots are frequently required to be on duty for stretches of 18 hours or more without rest. A panel talks about why pilots often are not rested when they fly, the airlines' new "alertness management" initiative, and proposed changes to FAA requirements.
