Abstract

House of representatives (H.R.) 5900, which was passed by Congress in July 2010, legislated more restrictive pilot rest requirements and increased the number of pilot training hours required to obtain an airline transport pilot license. This paper examines the effect that raising the occupational licensing standards has had on airline service quality. A priori, the effect is ambiguous since putting in place more restrictive licensing requirements reduces the available pool of replacement pilots and may cause airline pilots to behave opportunistically and put forth less effort, which suggests a detriment to on‐time performance. On the other hand, well‐rested and more experienced pilots may provide enhanced productivity leading to improved on‐time performance. Our event study analysis surrounding the effective date of H.R. 5900 (August 2013) shows an increase in traditional delays in the short run amid an ongoing pilot shortage, while extended delays were also exacerbated in the short run as a result of binding work schedule restrictions.

对旨在提高航空公司飞行员安全和绩效的立法进行评估
国会于 2010 年 7 月通过的众议院第 5900 号议案(H.R. 5900)立法规定了更严格的飞行员休息要求,并增加了获得航空运输飞行员执照所需的飞行员培训时数。本文研究了提高职业许可标准对航空公司服务质量的影响。首先,这种影响是模糊的,因为实施更严格的执照要求会减少可替代飞行员的数量,并可能导致航空公司飞行员投机取巧,减少努力,从而对准点率产生不利影响。另一方面,休息充足、经验丰富的飞行员可能会提高工作效率,从而改善准点率。我们围绕 H.R. 5900 法案生效日期(2013 年 8 月)进行的事件研究分析表明,在飞行员持续短缺的情况下,传统延误在短期内有所增加,而由于具有约束力的工作日程限制,延长延误在短期内也有所加剧。
