Hi!

Actually, the Regional guys do NOT have it the worst.

I just did a bunch of research, and wrote a report on the Fligh/Duty/Rest issues, and am sending it out to Congress and to some reporters.

The guys who have it the worst at Part 91 guys, who have NO Flight/Duty/Rest rules. So, when they fly commercially, they can be scheduled by their managers for WHATEVER the managers want. NO rules, NO union...they can be ROYALLY screwed!

Next up are the -121 Supplemental guys:
Any Regional guys on reserve for 240 hours CONSECUTIVELY, and then called for a 16 hour+ day? I didn't think so. That's one of the problems they have!
