EARLY DRAFT of HILAS Book Chapter

“An FRMS represents a “paradigm shift” in the way we manage the risks of fatigue. Such a system would be part of an airline’s Safety Management System, requiring a “just culture” environment and the full commitment of management.”
Curt Graeber, Chairman ICAO FRMS Task Force
“Measure what is important; don’t make important what you can measure”
Robert McNamara, US Secretary of State for Defence during the Vietnam War, advising his air force chiefs, when he discovered that they were using the number of buildings destroyed by bombs as a critical success factor
