Huggyu2 said:Kind of funny, I guess: when I was in the military, we did anything we could to grab another flight. Then, when I get in the commercial business, we do anything we can to avoid flying. What happened to the passion?
The passion is still there for many. The problem is, we all have passion for time spent with our family and friends as well. For me at least, my love of my family and those I spend time with when not at work often overrides my passion for flying. I get my fill in a 3-day trip, then am very ready to get home.
We all know that should this rule get passed, it will not just apply to the two-leg days. The domestic majors will use it. The regionals will use it. Soon there will be 6 and 7 leg days in RJs flying 10 hours a day with 14 hours of duty. This is just the way things work. Let me ask you JetBlue pilots, would you be in favor of the change so you can do 2-leg transcons in one day, knowing on the flipside you'd also be doing 5-6 short-leg days as well?
Also I believe Exemption 3585 was started by Peoples Express, not PSA.
