Bad and good. Next time you cargo guys jumpseat on a pax 121 carrier, ask them about the impact to their schedules and QOL thanks to 117.

I'd say on average you will work 1-2 days more per month to make the same pay compared to the previous rules...or take the pay hit to keep the same amount of days off.

I'd say it hurt the pairings and most operators making the flying much less efficient.

Not saying I agree with the FAAs decision, just pointing out what has happened to schedules and those impacted by 117.
