National Flight Attendant Duty/Rest/Fatigue Survey Announcement

National Flight Attendant Duty/Rest/Fatigue Survey

Dear Flight Attendant: The FAA is conducting a congressionally mandated survey of flight attendants. The goal of this survey is to identify the type of fatigue that flight attendants experience, how frequently fatigue is experienced, and the impact fatigue may have on the safety of U.S. air carriers. Within the next week, you will receive an invitation from my office to complete a survey regarding your experiences as a flight attendant. The results obtained from this survey will be delivered to Congress and are intended to provide information to FAA policy makers regarding flight attendant rest and duty time. Only a few flight attendants from your airline will be receiving this survey, so it is very important that you respond to the upcoming survey. Sincerely, Fred Tilton, M.D. Federal Air Surgeon
