I'm not arguing the science isn't there. I'm saying JB scheduling can't handle it. Let's use a more benign pairing. BUF-JFK-SLC-JFK. MX, wx, whatever, the flight is delayed on the ground in SLC. Do you think the crew should continue up to the FAR limit of a 16 hour duty day? I don't. I'm sure the "guidlines" that acompany this won't either. Do you think JB is going to Lear Jet a crew into SLC to keep within those company "guidlines"? Right. The magic P-R mantra will be invoked (profit-sharing).
And the trip will continue...
