The FAA alleged violations in 38 separate instances during a 15-day period starting August 15, 2000. In each instance, the FAA alleged American assigned various employees to a flight sequence that, when completed, did not provide the crewmember with at least eight hours of crew rest in the previous 24 hours, as required in federal regulations.
Under law, American is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $11,000 for each violation. American has requested an informal conference to discuss the allegations.
Announcement of the proposed civil penalty is made in accordance with FAA`s policy of releasing information to the public on newly issued enforcement actions in cases that involve penalties of $50,000 or more.
