OK, a better headline might start out "Indian Pilots Are Dying of Tiredness" for one. For those not familiar, crew rest requirements for US professional pilots are spelled out in Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 121:

- At least 9 consecutive hours of rest during the 24-hour period that precedes a flight assignment of less than 8 hours.

- At least 10 consecutive hours of rest during the 24-hour period that precedes a flight assignment of 8-9 hours.

- At least 11 consecutive hours of rest during the 24-hour period that precedes a flight assignment of 9 or more hours.

- At least 24 consecutive hours of rest in any 7 calendar days.

These can be reduced to 8 hours of rest if additional rest is scheduled on the back end.

No pilot may fly more than 1,000 hours a calendar year, 100 hours a calendar month, or 30 hours every 7 days.

I'm not familiar with the rules in the EU or elsewhere in the world.
