(FDX) and United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS) said U.S. regulators failed to persuade the two cargo airlines to adopt pilot-fatigue rules imposed on passenger carriers. “The reality is that one size does not fit all when it comes to maintaining pilot alertness,” Maury Donahue, a spokeswoman for FedEx, said in an e-mail. “Flight scheduling at a cargo airline is very different from passenger carriers.” Under the rules, set to take effect in December 2013, passenger pilots would get longer rest periods between shifts and have their work hours curtailed during overnight flights or after crossing multiple time zones.
