Only pilots get tired and other urban myths.
Beginning in 1985, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) came to the realization that regulating crew rest for pilots was an overdue and effective risk-management tool. Fatigue was being increasingly recognized as a contributing factor in many emergency medical services (EMS) accidents. Federal aviation regulations were changed to include pilot crew rest and flight hour and duty time limitations.
