rest rules under threat

What kind of new rest rules would take effect?? still have 30 in 7?? 8 hrs max sched day? still have reduced rest junk?

Republican lapdogs at it again. Bought and paid for by Big Business and the Chamber of Commerce. Doing what their corporate masters tell them to do...at the detriment of public safety and worker safety. Pathetic excuses for human beings.

Communist Democrats at it again trying to get max pay for no work, under the cover of safety and fatigue. I know I know, workers of the world unite rise up fight your boss and the very company that pays you. Sounds good until your company throws in the towel or heads south of the boarder and you are left with nothing.

You keep thinking that way and don't forget to keep your CFI current so you can at least find another job in aviation after you kill your company.

Marx and Lennon would be proud to hear that your leftist brainwashing is so complete, thanks to pubic education I am sure, the schools and colleges are full up with like minded communists like you.

Don't forget to wear your hammer and sickle tie tac to your next ALPA meeting comrade.

This country is doomed with people like you living here.

Cheers

There is, and never was, any country that ever had a Communist government.

Communism is an utopian ideal, that can never exist on Earth. Communism is also a very old idea. Liberals want to change to something better. They would never endorse Communism, as it is an unobtainable system, that is NOT better than what we have now.

Agreed. Most "Communists" governments are merely Authoritarian or Dictatorships.

flynvixen has an elitist outlook of society.

What is the role for government?

And please try to stick to something that is both successful and reality based...

The House guy that attached this to the FAA bill wants to create special rest rules for cargo and charter flying.

The Senate version didn't have this, and Obama said he will veto the bill if it contains the anti-union stuff in it that the House also added (the anti-union stuff was not in the Senate version).

Here's a good example of one proper role:

You can fly anywhere in this country and drink a glass of water out of the hotel tap and not get sick.

Like national defense, police, fire, flood control, highways and navigable waterways, etc., there are some areas where governmental action is preferable to private enterprise. But anything can be taken too far.

Completely agree Tom. There must be a balance- but there is an increasing tone in this country from the right that ALL government is bad. We can debate where that balance lays, but in trying to make gains in the less govt corner, to say that government is always a problem and never a solution is naive at best
