Info August 7, 2019 ETF and the European Aviation Safety Agency Aviation workers have unique on-the-job expertise on aviation safety, and ultimately they will make any safety rules a success. That is why we believe that workers should have a central role in EASA. Our mission is to ensure that the vital regulations which govern aviation reflect the needs, views and knowledge of aviation workers – defending both staff and passengers from unrestrained commercial interests.
Info August 7, 2019 Flight time limitations: Stop overworking European aircrew! Aircrew – pilots and cabin crew – require keen focus to avoid any accidents and react quickly if dangerous incidents occur. Flight time limitations are supposed to ensure that aircrew are sufficiently rested to undertake their work. ETF has always been in favour of European-wide flight time limitations for aircrew, and we bring expertise and experience to the rulemaking process.
