Y aquí en México la SCT o la STPS, han auditado a volaris o interjet, para saber si cumplen lo establecido en Ley Federal del Trabajo?
¿Será que sí les dan a sus tripulaciones los 30 días de vacaciones, más un día por año? y cumplirán con las jornadas y descansos?

FAA proposes Colgan Air fine for crew rest duty violations
By Linda Blachly | March 8, 2012
The FAA is seeking a civil penalty of $153,000 alleging that Colgan Air (9L) operated 17 flights without giving pilots or flight attendants the required minimum amount of rest.
The US regional carrier is seeking to have the fines reduced or eliminated.
The FAA alleges that between June 14, 2008 and Feb. 23, 2009, 9L “scheduled flight duty time for two captains, two first officers and six flight attendants on a seventh day after they had been on duty for the previous six consecutive days.”
According to an FAA statement, “FAA regulations required the airline to relieve each crewmember from duty for at least 24 consecutive hours during any seven consecutive calendar days. One of the captains operated four flights without adequate rest. Each of the other flight crew members operated one flight without meeting this rest requirement.”
The FAA also alleges that 9L “failed to give three flight attendants a required scheduled rest period of at least eight consecutive hours after scheduling them on flights after their previous duty period. Two of the incidents took place June 15, 2008 and the third took place Sept. 16, 2008.”
The carrier also “scheduled a first officer for flight time on Nov. 7, 2008 when the pilot’s total flight time in commercial flying exceeded eight hours between required rest periods,” according to FAA allegations.
This civil penalty involves alleged violations predating the FAA’s new pilot flight, duty and rest rules that were announced in December 2011 (ATW Daily News, Dec. 22, 2011) and will go into effect in December 2013.
A 9L spokesman told ATW: “The proposed fine is based on actions that occurred more than three years ago. We believe we complied with all applicable duty and rest rules and will respond accordingly. We have worked closely with the FAA as we have revised our safety programs and have invested heavily above and beyond FAA requirements on both personnel and resources to facilitate new programs. Colgan remains in compliance with these requirements. Safety is the top priority at Colgan. We intend to cooperate with the FAA and will respond to the allegations per their process and believe these proposed fines should be reduced or eliminated.”
9L has 30 days to respond to the agency.
A US National Transportation Safety Board investigation into the fatal crash of a Colgan Air Q400 in February 2009 cited potential crew fatigue as a likely contributing factor (ATW Daily News, May 27, 2010).
