I really thought FAR 117 was going to be a win. Real hard duty limits. Turns out to actually be worse! Ouch!
What I don't understand about allowing CDOs and your post is why would we desire to lower our level of safety?
This is the same as age 65, it is all about greed.
CDOs lower our level of safety.
Shiznit what does one single fatal crash cost Delta Air Lines?
How much did AF 447 cost? $500 million? $1 billion?
Did AF save money putting first officers in the left seat?
IMO what ever they saved over the years was a pittance compared to the cost of AF 447. What was the captain thinking when he reached the cockpit??
I don't think it was pull back on the stick.
