(Don't get me wrong, I think that SC should be paid more.. but that is a different subject) whereas if you can only do 12 hours.. or 14 as in the new regs.. you can essentially be on SC for 7-8 days in a row.. Why is this "better"?
Its really bad for commuters. If you can do LC from home but not SC then you are looking at that many more commutes and hotel/crashpad expenses.
The really lousy thing, they don't ever want to use their SC pilots. Only been called out twice in 7 months.
