I flew with an FA over Christmas who was doing 5 CDOs in a row followed by one day off and then 4 more CDOs! That looks like a recipe for fatigue.

Our pilots are limited to 4 CDOs and are required to have 2 full calendar days off before returning to work.

Also pilot's reserve time counts towards a duty day, whereas our FAs are on reserve 24/7 as far as I know.
 
Our company has it in our Op Specs that FA's and Pilot's are on the same pilot duty/flt/rest scheduling. We do 121 charter, mostly sports teams.

Back in the mid 90's the FAA made this the "law". And then proceeded to grant exemptions to all the major & regional airlines.
 
Does anyone remember the flight where they suspected it crashed because the flight attendants were fatigued?

Did you forget your valuim today yip? They were referring to real airlines, not some scum sucking bottom feeders where you try and fire every guy that works for you for not flying some broken POS airplane!
