Some relief but not by much...
Pilot's fly, not under the influence of alcohol or drugs but in sick health & lack of sleep & rest.
And that, in my opinion, is the single most important contributing factor for colgan....
If you want to start a petition, ask for a 12 hour duty day followed by a 12 hr off duty & 8 hrs min actual rest period.
That single handedly will help the promote saftey & pilot's may also be less grumpy....
That will drive your earning potential to the floor. You will be working 8 hours of duty per day with 16 in a hotel. That is no way to live. In order to block 85 hours you will never see home.
