sorry but getting alpa to do it is a pipe dream.
the rules will only change after the public/faa has had enough accidents. the only thing we can do is draw attention to the problem when we can and hope less it lessens the number of accidents required to make a rule change.
I'm not optimistic that ALPA will be able to change anything about anything. I'm just resigned to the reality that they're the only game in town when it comes to lobbying Congress for rule changes.
The only other way rules will change is if there are several more accidents and casualties that are 100% attributable to fatigue. Difficult to prove, because unless the pilots are asleep when the actual crash takes place, fatigue is just listed as one of many other factors.
