New FAA flight time/rest rules?

[DoinTime]

Interesting news: Alpa says that the 10 hour rest will only add 1/4 duty days to the line pilot.

Fact: 10 hours of rest will add 1 to 2 duty days to the line pilot.

And where do your facts come from? Just curious.

I think you are spot on. I believe it will require more pilots. Same amount of flying but less pilots able to do it = more staffing needs. However, I do think we we see much less productive trips, ie: more four days with early duty ins and late duty outs only credited to 16 hours. IMO. Hope for the best.

and more staffing with no more revenue being generated has other problems.

I got the 1/4 duty day from a recent ALPA email.

The 1 to 2 days more a month- I have access to the pairing results when 10 hours was put in. Some cities required 2 day layovers to make originating flights. Most of the 4 days (75% of the result) are 18 hours or less.

If the pairing dosen't make at least 18 hours, flying has to be added on additional days to make most guarantees of 72 hours.

I strongly suggest that someone from your union scheduling committee ask the company for the results.
