Dont mistake for one minute that MG will not have his one last swan song for the big payoff. It may not be today, and it may not be tomorrow, but you can bet your bottom dollar he will buy/sell into the "synergies" before he bows out. It doesnt matter what Allegiant or the other airline looks like, its all about the big payoff, like every other airline merger big and small in aviation history.

There is a PDF file under the FAR117 signed by a Mr. Mark W. Bury who is the assistant chief council international law, legislation and regulations for the FAA signed August of this year. Mr. Bury seems to think that a RAP can be extended as well by up to 2 hours. But as Vegas pilot pointed out, page 21 of our work rules state that no pilot will be scheduled for more than 16 hours. I guess "scheduled" is the operative word. Sorry, we didn't schedule you for more, it just happened. Now, are you taking that extension or not? Funnier part is that part B of that section states 16 hours is an FAR limitation.

Lawyers.....enough said.

So my guess is the Vegas FSDO will follow the lead of their assistant chief council.

Don't take the way the work rules are written to not be able to out your foot down on going over 16 hrs of duty. It's always your call whether you want to go over 16. Point 1 under that section states that "16 hrs is maximum allowable duty period." There've been a few times in the past that they asked and I said no. Usually always ended up due to some stupid rescue/repo/sitting in OKC waiting for a plane BS.

They think just because 117 allows something that they can do whatever they want. Look higher on the page and you'll see right at the top that trips will not be built to more than 8hrs flight time in a duty period. Yet because 117 allows for 9hrs now, we have 8+ hr 4 leggers. It's completely wrong. If you ever fly a 4 legger like that, fill out a work rule violation form. The day of reckoning is coming, they just don't see it yet or chose to ignore it.

Any class dates beyond the spring are irrelevant. Summer projections are post-apocalyptic/STFD. Can anyone else smell that? Rome is alight baby..

Could get a base, more than likely the TDY base as a new hire.
