HTN: FAA Reviewing Pilot Rules

In the wake of the crash of Flight 3407, the FAA is fast-tracking the review of pilot fatigue rules. The Administration will set up a committee by July 15th to begin the effort to revise the rules governing airline pilots. Recommendations will be made by September first. The FAA is also calling on airlines to review all of a pilot's test records before hiring them. The NTSB says the pilot at the helm of the doomed flight had failed previous test flights and the co-pilot may have been fatigued.
