9 hrs. Reducable to 8? (Ha)

 

[CFI2766]

"...Rather, the rest period would
begin once the flightcrew members reach the hotel. The FAA’s proposal does not change
the intent of the ARC to generally assure an 8-hour sleep opportunity. However, the
FAA believes that time in transit is not rest. In addition, the agency is concerned that
allowing this time to be included in the rest period could result in a reduction in actual​

rest opportunity below 8 hours..."

Pg. 85.


Finally, behind the door rest. Someone, somewhere, recognizes that time in transit is not 'rest'.

Bye bye naps, CDO's, stand-ups, high speeds or whatever your airline calls them. Good riddance I say.

Cliff notes version:

There will still be 9 hour overnights with early duty in's that you will be tired when you go to work...In addition, it will be harder to build 3 day trips and the really good CDO's/Naps will no longer be legal...only the really short CDO's/naps will be legal...

Don't worry Joe, it'll take like 4 years for this to go into effect. That's assuming it even passes.

I hope your right...but I doubt it.

No, I think the CDOs are still a go. You are not going on rest when you go to the hotel. You can do 2 leg with a 2200 show and be on duty until 0830. If I'm missing something let me know.
