Until that happens, (and, God forbid, it ever does), nobody will ever care about the lives of cargo pilots.
In the meantime, we will continue to get letters from the company, telling us that safety is our first concern, and that nothing is more important than safety. Well, as far as I'm concerned, those letters, just like this ruling from the FAA, is b.s. If it was their primary concern, then they would adopt the scheduling parameters of the new rules, regardless of wether or not they are required to do so.
Really sad state of affairs.........
