We owe a debt of gratitude to the many pilots who provided us with reports of their<br />

encounters with pilot fatigue. These reports reveal that pilot fatigue typically occurs during<br />

back-side-of-the-clock operations and after long periods of time-since-awake.<br />

The pilots would like to thank the FAA for providing this forum and the air<br />

carriers for contributing to the debate. We hope that this ARAC has demonstrated to all<br />

interested parties how unregulated scheduling can lead to dangerously high levels of pilot<br />

fatigue for reserve pilots. We urge the FAA to quickly remedy this very serious safety<br />

problem.
