I don't like the new FAR 117 either. If the goal was to improve safety, it has definitely missed the mark. Sad....

From our own ALPA home page....ALPA recognized Delta Air Lines Capt. Don Wykoff with a Presidential Recognition Award for his tremendous leadership role in developing new flight and duty-time rules for commercial aviation. Capt. Wykoff’s modern, science-based approach led to the Federal Aviation Administration’s new science-based regulations.

Fly safe,
