Dec 21 - Airlines are increasingly pushing pilots and flight attendants into longer hours and less sleep.

Effective, June 1, 2008 staffing on widebody flights will be reduced by one Flight Attendant, following the one crewmember reduction on the 757 effective May 1.

United recently announced a reduction in domestic staffing on the 757 aircraft from 5 to 4 Flight Attendants.  With the busy summer travel season approaching, along with United’s new policy which charges for checking a second bag beginning in May, it is important to remember to focus on our primary role as safety professionals.
