FAA Proposes New Rules for Flight Attendant Meal and Rest Breaks

The FAA has proposed a rule to standardize meal and rest-break requirements for flight attendants and pilots, which would prevent state regulations from applying. While some aviation experts support the proposal for its potential to enhance safety, major airline unions oppose it, arguing it could eliminate existing protections without guaranteeing federal standards. The proposal is still pending approval.
