The Association of European Airlines (AEA) is rejecting claims by pilot unions that proposed flight time limitation rules are unsafe. Flight deck crew from the International Federation of Airline Pilots' Associations (IFALPA), the European Cockpit Association and members of the European Transport Workers Federation protested earlier this week against current and proposed rules, which they maintain do not take into account independent research into pilot fatigue.
