# Trade union Solidarity says FlySafair pilots are pleading for public understanding as their strike over safety and working conditions continues. In an open letter to the public, the pilots stress that their protest is about fair treatment and enough rest, not about money. They warn that a new automated scheduling system forces some pilots to work long, exhausting hours, leading to burnout and risking passenger safety. Solidarity urges the airline and government to urgently address these concerns.
