But I guarantee, fit for duty does not even come close to being the truth as relating to a CDO.
There is no need to even look at the details involving a CDO. It purely is a concession and hypocrisy. Another reason I think the FAA is part management (P117 should ban CDOs and 8+hour domestic).

I can live with them if they are treated as 2 separate duty periods for pay purposes (10:30 for one of them). I doubt that will happen though. I hate doing them, but they really would go senior if they paid that much. Also put in a clause that reserves can't do them. Force the ones in open time to go to green slips.
