What is scary about this thread is confusion of the FAR and the UPA and the fact that the FAR is for all part 121 airlines not just UAL. As stated before this rule change has added the work rules we have had at United to all passenger airlines in the duty limits. Which is a good thing.

What is even more baffling to me is all the talk of being more tired but still flying your schedule. Should there not be a correlation in fatigue calls that is proportional to the four days? Also please explain if those trips are so tiring, why would you even ever waive? I am going to plead ignorance on this one so spell it out for me please. How does getting Add pay make you less tired?
