Fatigue is a silent killer in aviation, and the failure to implement regulations designed to combat it is not just irresponsible but potentially lethal. We witnessed two tragic incidents that could be linked to pilot fatigue, emphasizing the necessity for the DGCA to act decisively. Without immediate changes to duty and rest periods, we're risking lives in an industry already stretched thin due to pandemic-induced pressures.
The delays in the implementation of new rules reveal a disconnect between the regulatory authorities and the realities that pilots are confronting daily. Despite clear evidence that excessive working hours can lead to tragic outcomes, the bureaucracy has stalled progress, leaving pilots vulnerable and exhausted in a high-stakes environment.
