Pilot Fatigue Debated in UPS Birmingham Fatal Crash Probe - Bloomberg

The two United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS) pilots who crashed a cargo airplane last year in Birmingham, Alabama, were probably fatigued, a study by the flight crew’s union found.

The filing by the Independent Pilots Association puts them in conflict with UPS, which filed a separate report to the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board concluding that it was errors by the flight crew that triggered the pre-dawn accident.

The dueling submissions underscore tensions between the labor group and the company over pilot work schedules.

UPS pilots say they are tired, overworked and afraid that if they complain or call in sick, they will face retribution from the company. Those are among the results of a survey conducted at the request of the National Transportation Safety Board.
