I mean, the agents are there, the laptop is there, why can't FedEx go through? Because Fred said 'no'? We all need to push very hard to have one level of Known Crewmember for all of us, just like one level of safety, and with ALPA leading the way, its a matter of time before it becomes a reality. That last sentence was meant to be sarcastic.
Hey Wally Im on board with that but it seems a bit of a pipe dream. We dont even have the same level of safety! Check work/rest rules for 121 supp. compared to the rest. We haul alot of heros and I would love to ask the morons who wrote this rule if our heros derserve the same rested pilot as a person who paid a ticket. That can of worms has already been hashed over but Im just saying.
