New Airliners, Record Sales, Crew Rest Rules Are Among The
Top Stories
Where other segments of the industry had their ups and downs,
the news coming from commercial aviation was largely positive ...
including the certification of Boeing's Dreamliner, the
announcement of re-vamped A320 and B737 airliners, and record sales
figures for both Boeing and Airbus. But crew rest rules announced
by the FAA were a bit of a counterpoint to the good news for the
industry, in that they do not set the same standards for
pilots of passenger and cargo flights.
