If it's this :

(and I'm pretty sure it is)

that ALPA is talking about, I'd say it's an improvement, but misses some key issues. I'd personally rather see them just cut-and-past the British rules rather than cherry-pick some of their provisions, but this is certainly better than nothing.

At the very least, these rules would protect pilots who are subject to the worst and most dangerous circadian-disrupting, fatigue inducing schedules in the industry . . . i.e., regional airline pilots.

I find it interesting that a DAL pilot is a co-chair but there is no Delta signature at the end of the document.
