On April 7th an invitation was published to take part in an EU-wide study conducted on behalf of the EU Commission, to explore the employment and working conditions of aircrews in Europe’s aviation market.
While at the first glance this study is about atypical employment, the survey includes some questions regarding aircrew fatigue!
While most ALPL members are still employed under typical employment forms, e.g. directly employed by their airline, the impact of atypical employment models on us cannot not be underestimated. The same applies certainly for fatigue, which is a growing concern amongst our members.
For the validity of this study it is also important to receive data from crew members employed under typical form of employment. Your responses will help assess the extent of (ab)use of atypical employment, their impact on working conditions, and if existing EU and national rules are sufficiently protective. We encourage all of our members to participate in this important survey.
The survey takes about 20 minutes to complete and is open until 07 May 2018. In case you already completed this survey, we would like to thank you for your effort and investing some of your valuable time!
If you have any questions about the survey or study, the Ricardo team can be reached at aviationemploymentstudy@ricardo.com.
