What's becoming painfully apparent is that 117 is generating a lot of unintended consequences. On the whole, it seems more negative than positive. I'm very concerned about 2-man crossings > 8 hours, and MUCH more TAFB with long layovers (Int'l and Domestic).
The number of QOL-busting issues that are currently in play is impressive, and only getting bigger. This isn't a mini-LOA issue.
I agree, the overall QOL at Delta seems to be going down as a result of 117. How sad is that.
Also of note is the response of DALPA contract administration concerning this issue on the DALPA Pilot blog/committee corner/contract administration.
