FAA withdraws flightcrew duty, rest NPRM

True, but we also demand pay improvements while in section 6, and tell alpa representation to go to h***when they tell us to concede....

I agree.

Yeah, to hell with safety. Let's fly 20 hours block per day so we can get an extra couple of days off.

You are still a useless twunt, I see.

All the FAA really needs to do is create a "no fault crew fatigue" policy. If you are tired, call in and you would have no disciplinary action. I think any other kind of regulation on this issue is gonna be so subjective as to be completely useless. Everyone knows a 12 hour day with solid weather and 6 approaches is far more tiring than a 14 or even 16 hour day with clear blue skies.

-I can think of a couple of 12 hour days when I probably would have used such a policy.

Now that is brilliant and cuts to the heart of the matter. Everyone wants safety, and we also want to have some protection from being honest and prudent while achieving it. It'l never happen then. Too bad.
