I think many at the FAA get that the new rules are needed to help prevent unacceptable levels of fatigue. Their announcement appears to imply they are prevented from applying these rules to all operators because politicians tell them it costs too much.
People should be held accountable. Ray LaHood is first on my list. He was in charge and made the announcement when the rules first came out. He also said it cost too much. If something bad happens I hope civil suits put him in the poor house.
Maybe then other bureaucrats will sit up and take notice.
