💨 Abstract

A two-week pilot strike at FlySafair in South Africa highlights significant concerns about pilot fatigue and work-life balance in the low-cost airline sector. Pilots, backed by the Union Solidarity, claim excessive workloads, insufficient rest, and unsafe rosters jeopardize safety. Aviation experts stress the risks of fatigued pilots, urging stricter Fatigue Risk Management Systems. FlySafair denies wrongdoing, asserting compliance with regulations.
