Woo Hoo. Another overnight with an armed guard to and from the hotel. I love those. I would not want to sit in any seat we have for heavy crew ops.

In the mean time, what does Spirit's contract say, if anything, about this issue?
The new rest rules would actually help this. As long as you started in the morning you could fly up to 10 hours/duty period. Of course, we would have to run a schedule like normal people during the daytime, no midnight jungle turns anymore. I believe our contract says we get paid international for BOG (one of the few that we do), Other than that, I don't think it runs afoul of our contract, but I would have to dig it out to be sure.
