Fatigue Risk Management Plans

[kmox29]

Then you are back to a unrested F/O at BUF

I think you'll always have an unrested FO in BUF. What the FAA can (and should) do is review and modify duty/rest rules.

the only way they FAA can make us get better rest is to have new FAA rest rules lowering the time u can be on duty in a 24 hr. period and or MAX hours to fly in 30/7 or calendar month. What u do on your own time is up to you and we have to be responsible, with a 24 hr over night if we stay up all night and get 6 hrs of sleep then we are fatigued in the morning by our own fault, but flying all day 15.5 hrs duty then getting reduced rest which ends up in 6 hours in the room then back in the plane at 7am is an FAA lack of rest regulation problem. Sometimes communting can give you better rest then if you live at base and have new born babies crying all night not letting you sleep. the airlines should be probally wont go much less than what the FAA sets as the limit so the FAA needs to address this is and make clear and easy to understand

Unintended Consequences

the only way th...........e probally wont go much less than what the FAA sets as the limit so the FAA needs to address this is and make clear and easy to understand

back to square one, it will take more pilots to cover the same number of trip, it will most likely mean more time away from home base, and it will not generate any more income for the airline. These are all unintented consequences of change. If the airlines maintain wages and hire more pilots with no increase in revenue, they will have to raise ticket prices. It is basic economics, if you raise the price of commodity, less people will purchase that commodity. With less people purchasing there is not as much demand for that commodity, therefore there will be fewer pilots with the lay offs following ticket price increases. BTW This could be largely offset by the 2012 hiring boom that has already started.

At the regional level it will be methamphetamine, as much as you want, you will have to buy it from the company, payroll deductible.
