“We were aghast when we learned that these industry groups had the audacity to propose increasing flight time as a way to reduce fatigue in the wake of the Colgan crash,” said Local 1224 President Joe Muckle. “The sole purpose in evaluating the current regulations was to create a positive impact on safety. Giving consideration to Administrator Babbitt’s long-held ‘One Level of Safety’ concept, we urge policymakers not to sacrifice safety by allowing an increase in flight duty to passenger or cargo carriers as they complete extended flight over our cities, while fatigued, in overcrowded skies.”

Let them fly longer, but let them sleep on the flight deck. Will the nonsense never end.

Here at my airline we are permitted to take "controlled rests, it does make one much more awake for critical phases of flight after a 15 min "power nap" especially during back side of the clock flights..
 
And it appears that the Delta MEC is in bed with the CEOs as well. They're position is to, in some circumstances, actually increase the allowable flying time per day.

First these nitwits cave on scope and damage other unions, but now they want to actually decrease safety. Simply un-f'ing believable.
 
I've tried raising awareness on this issue on this forum in week's past and very few seem to care.

To me it's absolutely incredible that ALPA has advocated this.

In order to reduce fatigue they are advocating increasing the number of hours a pilot can fly in a day WITHOUT SUPPLEMENTAL CREW.

What wrong is right and right is wrong these days.

Too many people with too much money on the line. The more I observe this type of crap go on the more of a synic I become.

Age 60...now this.

Good to be king isn't Boomers?

Me! Me! Me!

Word on the street, Prater is grooming Moak as a replacement. Moak has sold us out at DALPA and will do the same at national. Let's keep this stooge out!
