With more than 250 air crashes in the last 15 years linked to pilot fatigue or sleep deprivation issues, it seems our own Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) as well as the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have been asleep in their administrative duties. A March 11, 2010 article  from WBZTV discloses that data "collected from NASA, the FAA, and the NTSB showed that "over the past five years there have been 689 incidents where pilot fatigue caused a safety concern or a crash." Documents tell of pilots nodding off on approaches and even landing on the wrong runways or taxiways. Pilots are sometimes allowed to work 16 hours in a day, though only eight can be in the cockpit. One retired commercial airline pilot admitted, "I can remember more than one time waking up while we were in route. I had been asleep, looking at the clock, looking at the watch, I had been asleep for 20 minutes, 30 minutes."

Pilot Kent Wien, in Gadling.com, accused the NTSB of "glossing over fatigue" as the cause of the Colgan Air crash in Buffalo, New York last year. They placed total blame on the pilot's inabilty to properly handle a stall. The crash killed 50 people and the NTSB overlooked the fact that both the pilot and the co-pilot had little sleep in the 24 hours prior to their flight. They placed total blame on inadequate flight simulator training. Robert Sumwalt, one of the NTSB investigators in the case, refused to allow fatigue as a contributing factor saying, "just because the crew was fatigued, that doesn't mean it was a factor in their performance." Sleep deprivation studies have proven that performance levels and response speeds for sleep deprived individuals are equivalent or worse than blood alcohol levels of 0.05%. A British Medical Journal study concluded that fatigue does affect performance, finding that, "getting less than 6 hours a night can affect coordination, reaction time michael kors outlet, and judgment" and poses "a very serious risk" to drivers." The NTSB , like the FAA coach outlet online, chooses to ignore the fatigue and sleep deprivation issues jeopardizing the air safety they are charged to protect.

Drew Dawson, an expert on fatigue in the workplace, makes the frightening statement:

Despite the uptick in reports of fatigue and sleep linked accidents, all we continue to hear from the FAA and the NTSB are empty promises of coming changes. In June of 2009 Randy Babbitt (current FAA Administrator) pledged to change pilot regulations, most of which have been in effect since the 1940s. He told reporter Nancy Cordes in her article for CBS News, "We're gonna have a tough decision to make and I don't mind making it." The only recent change to policy has been his approval for pilots to use antidepressant medications on the job. The most common side effects of antidepressants are drowsiness, dizziness and sleep problems, including insomnia. Mr. Babbitt feels that "culture change" and tolerance for those afflicted with depression are more important than the safety of the millions flying the skies. The FAA's mission statement is "to provide the safest coach outlet, most efficient aerospace system in the world." The FAA's vision statement is "to improve the safety and efficiency of flight. We are responsive to our customers and are accountable to the taxpayer and the flying public." The recent antidepressant policy change as well as the continued delay in amending pilot work hour regulations seriously conflict with the FAA's stated mission and vision objectives.

"There's nothing like a smoking hole in the ground to address attention."

While air transport safety boards and accident investigators overlook fatigue and sleep deprivation as a cause of human error disasters, Air New Zealand has been monitoring and analyzing fatigue, sleep, and fatigue countermeasures since 1998. "Air New Zealand was one of the first airlines in the world to introduce a policy for controlled rest on the flight deck (cockpit napping)." The policy was supported by the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand. It allows for a fatigued crew member to take a 45 minute nap after a briefing of the crew members as to time of waking. "No course changes, altitude changes or fuel transfers are permitted during this period." The napping is only permitted for 2, 3, and 4=person crews. The fatigue management program has full support of airline management and union groups. Fatigue report forms from pilots detailing excess fatigue, possible causes and remedies are passed to Flight Operations management for possible action or comment and are then analyzed by a Flight Crew Fatigue Study Group (FCFSG) monthly. The group looks for patterns and problems with particula
