A year ago my Rep (44) spent a good half an hour convincing me the FAR 117 rules were going to be, more or less, a push because of our CBA. Now I'm told to stand by for a year or so of significant loss of quality of life while ALPA figures these "new" regulations out?
Representation fail..... Again....
Just honestly curious.... What specifically would have been the magic bullet to remedy this situation??? Besides a crystal ball of course...
Not starting a fight, just asking you to help me understand what or how any Pilot union could have done to mitigate 117 if the government never finalized the rules until late?? No matter what, with our group nothing is ever good enough, I get that... But what would have been acceptable?? Just askin!!
