They had 2 years and the majority waited until the Jan to implement 117. Just like the new ATP requirements, meanwhile airlines are asking for concessions from their pilots and wonder why they don't have enough... Ohh did I mention record profits, airline management might get a swift kick in the junk if they allow foreign carriers to come into the US. The tide is turning and we need to use it for our advantage.
