The aviation industry is constantly pushing for cost efficiency and on-time performance, but this rush culture puts pressure on crew members, making it harder for them to perform their pre- and post-flight duties diligently. And then there’s also the issue of unpaid work.
Pilots and cabin crew undergo extensive initial and recurrent training every year. Digital technology has made e-learning an efficient substitute for in-class training. But can airlines demand crew members complete mandatory e-learning courses without scheduling them as duty time?
A decision from the Bucharest Labor Court has ruled that a clause in a pilot’s local employment contract that restricted the individual from working elsewhere without express written consent is null and void. The judge made it clear that this clause was against the law, and since holding multiple jobs is permitted by current legislation, any restrictions must be explicitly provided by law.
As commercial flying has become increasingly available to most people, the aviation industry has also seen a significant increase in aggressive behavior on board. Unruly passenger incidents are on the rise globally.
