New rest rules: "no specifics" on completion

[densoo]

"The FAA indicated that it was working to complete the fatigue rules as fast as it can, but agency officials offered no specifics on when they might be completed, and would not say why they had been delayed."

Perhaps the words of The Great Elvis Costello echo the FAA's sentiments best:

"But everybody is going through the motions
Everybody is going through the motions
Are you really only going through the motions?


Lip service is all you'll ever get from me
Lip service is all you'll ever get from me
Lip service is all you'll ever get from me
But if you change your mind, you can send it in a letter to me
But if you change your mind, you can send it in a letter to me
But if you change your mind, you can send a little letter to me "

Translation: the public continues to watch this issue, thus preventing us from changing the rules in such a manner that airline revenue is enhanced at the expense of pilots and public.

it doesn't matter, we won't really get any relief from these "rest" rules.

It will take a few more wrecks then we will get somewhere ( a few years later)

Follow the money trail. Multiple big corporations with their hands in congress' pockets. Wow, what a surprise new legislation has been delayed.
