Anyone notice that their recommendation for number of legs per duty period is titled "Maximum Flight Duty Period (hours) for Lineholders Based on
Number of Flight Segments"?

Can you imagine what the companies would do to reserves if this verbiage got in.
They also recommend a min 10 hr rest period which would only allow a 14 hr day.

Only allow a 14 hour duty day? Are you looking for longer?

These new proposed rules are almost no different than what we already have and most airlines have tighter rules already in there contracts. ALPA needs to start working for the pilots and not the airlines!!
 
Glad ALPA has guys figuring out whats best for time/duty/rest who haven't flown the line in decades.

People at ALPA didn't just pull these rules out of their butts and say "that looks about right". These rules were established by scientists that specialize in human fatigue. You don't need to fly an airplane to figure this stuff out....you need a PhD.
