    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION Effective Date: June 24, 2009 SUBJ: Flight and Duty Time Limitations and Rest Requirements Aviation Rulemaking Committee 1. PURPOSE. This document establishes the Flight and Duty Time Limitations and Rest Requirements Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) according to the Administrator's authority under Title 49 of the United States Code (49 U.S.C.), section 106(p)(5). 2. DISTRIBUTION. This document is distributed to the director level in the Offices of Rulemaking; International Aviation; Chief Counsel; Flight Standards; Aerospace Medicine; Budget. BACKGROUND. a. On June 10, 2009, FAA Administrator J. Randolph Babbitt testified before the Senate on the "FAA's Role in the Oversight of Air Carriers." He addressed issues regarding pilot training and qualifications, fljght crew fatigue, and consistency of safety standards and compliance between air transportation operators, and committed to " ...assessing the safety of our system and taking the appropriate steps to improve [it].." b. The FAA recognizes that the effects of fatigue are universal, and the profiles of operations occurring under parts 121 and 135 are similar enough that the same fatigue mitigations should be applied across operations for flightcrew members. To carry out the Administrator's goal, the FAA is chartering an ARC that will develop recommendations regarding rulemaking on flight time limitations, duty period limits and rest requirements for pilots in operations under parts 121 and 135. 3. OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE OF THE COMMITTEE. The Flight and Duty Time Limitations and Rest Requirements ARC will provide a forum for the U.S. aviation community to discuss current approaches to mitigate fatigue found in international standards (e.g.

  • Growing Number of Low-Fare Airlines Offering Frequent Flyer Programs
    Airline Industry Analysis - Press Release Contact: Jay Sorensen For inquiries: 414-961-1939 Growing Number of Low-Fare Airlines Offering Frequent Flyer Programs Comparison of twelve U.S based low-cost carriers indicates the largest five provide frequent flyer programs to their passengers. March 15, 2004, Shorewood, WI. The IdeaWorks Company has compared the leading low-fare airlines in the United States on the basis of frequent flyer program benefits. Twelve airlines were included in the survey: AirTran Airways, Allegiant Air, ATA Airlines, Frontier Airlines, jetBlue Airways, Pan Am, Southeast Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines, Sun Country Airlines, TransMeridian Airlines and USA3000 Airlines. These airlines are among those recognized by the USDOT as low-fare carriers due to operating cost advantages enjoyed over network carriers such as American Airlines and Northwest Airlines. Recently launched low-fare brands operated by network carriers, such as Song by Delta Air Lines and Ted by United Airlines, were not included in the survey completed by IdeaWorks. Five low-cost carriers, representing the largest airlines of the group in terms of available passenger seats, were found to offer traditional frequent flyer programs: AirTran Airways, ATA Airlines, Frontier Airlines, jetBlue and Southwest Airlines. These programs allow passengers to accrue benefits from flight activity in the form of miles, points or credits; which may be redeemed for free airline travel. Southwest has the longest tenure among the group with the launch of a frequent flyer program in 1987. The number of low-fare carriers offering frequent flyer programs grew to five airlines by 2002. All of these programs offered the feature of automated flight tracking by November, 2003.
