I've been doing some research and can't quite find the exact references to explain a problem that I have been seeing at my airline. So if anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated.

Where would one find the regs that govern flight attendants? I know they are treated a lot different than pilots with respect to FT/DT and rest requirements.

For me as a pilot it is required that while I'm on duty I must be able to see at least one 8 hour rest period in a rolling 24 hour period.

Does this apply to flight attendants as well? I know they need at least 8 hours of rest prior to an assignment per the regs. There's got to be more to it.

The only reason I ask is that I have a good friend that get's abused quite often as a reserve FA and I'd like to help her out. They really aren't educated on that stuff and their union is absolutely useless.

Any help is appreciated.
