Trei din patru piloți europeni au ațipit la manșă. De ce spun că aleg să zboare deși sunt prea obosiți

A recent survey reveals that many European pilots fly despite being fatigued, with 24% admitting to continuing flights when tired. The study, conducted by the European Cockpit Association, highlights safety risks associated with pilot fatigue, including slower reactions and impaired decision-making. Over 76% of pilots reported experiencing micro-sleep episodes while flying, and many feel pressured by employers not to report fatigue. Low-cost airline pilots reported the highest concerns about repercussions for reporting fatigue. The ECA president urges airlines and regulators to take responsibility for managing fatigue risks more effectively.
