Investigation called for into pilot fatigue problem

On Jan. 26, the National Transportation Safety Board listed pilot fatigue as a likely contributor to a 2004 Corporate Airlines crash in Kirksville that killed 11 people. New York Representative Thomas Reynolds, R-Clarence, is calling for a federal probe into pilot fatigue rules which allow pilots to fly as much as 16 hours per day, according to an article in the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle.
Corporate Airlines, now known as RegionsAir, is a possible replacement aviation service for Joplin.
