A survey by the British Airline Pilots'Association (BALPA) late last year found that 56% of 500 commercial pilots admitted to being asleep while on the flight deck and, of those, nearly one in three said they had woken up to find their co-pilot also asleep. The study came alongside news of two pilots on a British longhaul flight falling asleep in the cockpit at the same time, leaving the aircraft flying unsupervised on autopilot. Multiple lawsuits and fines, as well as (thankfully) rare fatigue-caused accidents, such as the crash of Colgan Air flight 3407 in 2009, illustrate the complex and emotional topic of crew rest periods.

机译：英国航空飞行员协会（BALPA）去年年底进行的一项调查发现，在500名商业飞行员中，有56％承认在驾驶舱内处于睡眠状态，其中近三分之一的人表示，他们已经醒来寻找自己的公司。 -飞行员也睡着了。该研究还伴随着两名英国飞行员在驾驶舱内同时入睡的消息，这使飞机在无人驾驶的情况下不受监督。多项诉讼和罚款，以及（令人感激的）罕见的疲劳疲劳事故，例如2009年Colgan Air 3407航班坠毁，说明了机组人员休息时期的复杂而激动人心的话题。
