BTW, there is no domestic 8 hrs in 24 limit.
Oh no? I beg to differ. If there wasn't we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Some of you people (not you, USNFDX) remind me of the pilots in the 60's who went to war insisting that the then-new two-pilot aircraft carry a third pilot in the jumpseat for "safety reasons."

such abuses as a back-end loaded standup overnight?
How about a contract that prevents such abuses?

This proposal, if enacted properly, won't compromise safety and will improve pilot QOL. Of course, it would also benefit management somewhat. That's the real sticking point for you guys, isn't it? It's only "preserving the profession" if the company doesn't benefit, too.
You guys keep yaking about cardian rythams and such. There is also a factor of fatigue throwing in delays, MX ATC whatever. This is NOT a good idea to give any management carte blanc to start screwing with flimsy regs as they are.
Any benefit to management usually equates to a screwjob for the worker bees. Again you boys are so enamored at JB you just don't see the difference. The novelty will wear off soon, trust me.
I wonder what other brilliant ideas you people are dreaming up.
