ITS ABOUT YOUR SAFETY !

Stand up - Sign now !

Would you like to be a passenger on an aircraft operated by a pilot who is awake for more than 22 hours?

Or would you like to be on an aircraft where its pilot is already so severely fatigued that scientists call this state "a danger for flight safety?"

If not, please sign our petition:

online petition

This is because the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the EU commission are currently trying to make this perfectly legal and thereby very soon possible for every European airline.

This, despite it is well known that in 20 percent of all aviation accidents where human factors where involved, pilot fatigue was cited as a contributing factor.

In the view of the raising air traffic it is just a question of time when these new EASA and EU regulations will enable pilot fatigue to kill again in Europe.

YOUR HELP is needed to prevent this:

In case you haven't done so yet, please sign the petition and circulate it among your friends, family and colleagues..
