The Rueters reporting is a virtual pencil rubbing of the ATA press release. I used to be in ajournalism family and worked in journalism, too...and its as bad as as many of the segments in aviation. Anyway, the ATA is just lying, plain and simple. I guess airlines will just sell jets rather than hire pilots who are better rested. That way they can carry more people on a flight and more people may...

That said, it is a interesting little staged photo on the ATA story site. The all knowing suited ATA man, speaking to the press minions, notably positioned down below. It is trying to be PC, but it is also interesting to note the races of the reporters (not cameraman) and you can just barely see who the Oz-like ATA guy is. Pffffft!
