S-3421 : Still Just a Bill

This bill requires air carriers to provide a 10-hour rest period to a flight attendant who is scheduled to a duty period of up to 14 hours. Current regulations generally mandate a nine-hour rest period but allow an eight-hour rest period under certain circumstances.

Air carriers must comply with specified fatigue risk management plan requirements, subject to civil penalties.
