new crew rest rules

[Brody1]

Could someone please tell me what FAA rules or schedule induced fatigue were a factor in the Colgan accident?

I believe the answer on both counts is none.

Can you prove that?

 

[OCP]

Can you prove that?

Or better yet, does it matter in that one case? It has been proven in many other fatal accidents. But thanks for playing.

It is hard to "prove" anything in the world. Just because something cannot be "proven" does not mean that there isn't a correlation or significant relationship.

Be careful what you wish for folks. 3 days don't have much room for rest. Long overnights lead to more work days for the same pay. Just like minimum days off in a contract lead to fewer overall days off, for instance. (Socializing the days off from the senior lines down to the junior lines. Fewer 21 day off trips, but a lot of 14-16 day off trips, etc.)

Just pointing that out.

I'm all for rest rules, but they may carry some baggage along with them.

Baloney. It may make Scheduling have to be smarter. It may utilize reserve pilots more. It may even make mainline take some routes back.
Besides, do you want more dead people so you can have more days off?

The fact is any income or QOL losses would be temporary. New CBA's would compensate for any losses, if the respective pilot groups were smart about it.

Peace.
