How many reduced rest overnights does JetBlue have, how many overnights are less than 12 hours?
Eagle is doing the same thing right now, on the CRJ there won't be much of a change. On the other hand the staffing required on the ERJ will change since they fly more legs per day and have many more short overnights.
These new rules will hit Regionals much harder due to the way we are scheduled.
