Sorry, couldn't find a link, but this was just released from the FAA and reported on CNBC as breaking news.
Said "To expect big changes in commuter scheduling rules." Babbitt is Calling on major airlines to help boost commuter safety."
Sounds like he's going to be quite proactive. Standby....
 
I'll believe it when I see it.

Besides, why is he singling out "commuters". Why not make changes for
the majors too? I know the answer: Window Dressing by the FAA to make
the flying public feel safe and the media to back off.

That's all good and fine but the whole airline system (read not just commuter airlines) need an overhaul with regards to combating fatigue!

This is beginning to smell like the ATA has once again succeeded in squelching safety in the name of profitt.

I had better work rules and duty limits at express then I do now at CAL... My duty days are longer at CAL... CAL might be a major but the work rules are on par with the comuters!
 
Hooray! ALPA! Yippeee! As brought to you by the narrator guy from Discovery Channel!
 
It's going to be interesting to see how they define what a regional is. Many regionals are considered majors by DOT definitions.

What happened to the FAA's "One level of safety?"
