Tonight I will have a scheduled 8:33 overnight after I finish my scheduled 3 hour DTW sit. And with the weather tonight in DTW, my inbound will probably be late so my showtime for tomorrow will be adjusted for 8 hours of rest beginning 15 minutes after the parking break is set. When it is all said and done between van travel times, check-in & out, I will be unhappily settling for an actual sleep time of 5 hours so I can return to DTW in the morning for my scheduled 4 hour sit.
Nothing has changed!!!
Well not that I am advocating abusing power but if you feel like you are not well rested or unfit to fly because of lack of rest then call fatigued for that exact reason you specified in your statement. The problem is the company is only going to push the legal limit as much as they can until enough people cause there to be a change.
