At a news conference in Montreal, leaders of three of the world's largest pilot unions representing more than 150,000 workers said a proposal to Europe's aviation regulator aims to boost airline profits at the expense of safety.
Jack Netskar, president of the International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations, which includes some 6,200 Canadians, said the proposal would create an "unacceptable" safety risk for passengers. Some manufacturers frame single-person flying as a solution to labour shortages and pilot fatigue, said European Cockpit Association president Otjan de Bruijn, calling the characterization "misleading and inaccurate."The concept -- still years away from potential implementation -- would see a flight from Paris to Montreal staffed by two pilots.
The Montreal-based United Nations agency's governing body and air navigation commission were slated to weigh the topic further after two working papers were submitted last year, but no resolutions have been adopted, said spokesman Anthony Philbin.
