On this episode of Engage, host First Officer Ryan Argenta discusses with First Officer Matt Loveday, Fitness Review Board (FRB) Chairman, the issue of fatigue that still plagues pilots due to a grueling operations schedule despite being in the shoulder months. Matt explains while pilot fatigue calls are still at an all-time high, there are many pilots not calling in fatigued but rather pushing through and writing to the FRB afterwards. Matt and Ryan go through what a fatigue call to the Duty Pilot looks like and options pilots have for calling fatigue or unfit for duty. They also speculate how the new contract improvements will affect fatiguing rotations and pilot fatigue levels alike. As Delta begins ramping up the operations tempo for the summer travel season, this episode is a must listen and a great reminder for all pilots. (Recorded March 27, 2023)
