You make the decision just like I doThe delays here in the regional world are caused by MX or WX both of which don't gaurantee you time to nap as you wait for updates on either condition. My company also does not give you a proper place to catch a nap at our bases. In fact in EWR they feel it necessary to keep lights on in the only area a nap is possible.
You guys need to be more of a team player and look out for the good of the company and not just your own selfish agenda to work as little as possible.

Yep, now just trying to get the Feds to put it in writing so we can all be on the same page. I used to work for SkyWest so I know how being an "At Will" employee can play into the decision making process. This industry already has enough blood on its hands.
The safest way to operate airplanes is never to fly them, that way there will never be an accidnet. However once you take an airplane into the air you acept a degree of risk. You have to manage that risk, how you manage that risk is where there a wide variety of opinions. So what is the number that makes us safe for duty; 12 hours max, 4 hours max? 6 hours max? What the number that makes duty never a problem? As I stated before I have bene in worse shape after one hour duty coming out the Emery Hub at KDAY at 0400 my first day of duty than I have been after 18 hours of duty during an almost all day time operation.Yip, either NASA or the NTSB have a graph showing the percentages of accidents that occur at what point in the duty day.

Your decision making capacity is diminished after a certain amount of time awake due to your judgement being equivalent to that of someone who has had a few drinks.
