US aviation regulators are set to approve a long-delayed rule change giving flight attendants an extra hour of rest between shifts.
The decision is expected to be the focus of a press briefing in Washington with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) acting Administrator Billy Nolen.
Flight attendants currently must be given at least nine hours of rest between shifts. Congress had ordered that be expanded to 10 hours, a change that had been pushed by the Association of Flight
Attendants-CWA union.
The change would come almost four years after a congressionally imposed deadline to rework the regulation. The FAA published a proposed rule change last October.
