Bowling Green, Ky – A Bowling Green attorney who specializes in aviation cases says pilot fatigue has become a serious safety concern. Steve Hixson says a Northwest Airlines flight that went well beyond its destination in Minneapolis last week is raising questions about the issue. Regardless of whether pilot fatigue was a factor in this particular case, Hixson says the FAA should address the matter.
