I come back from a 3 day feeling like I used to coming off a 4 day.
Just curious what others are experiencing and what could be done to take another look at this poorly executed reg.
What kind of flying are you doing? The guys I've heard complain about 117 either don't understand it or fly primarily international (and maybe don't understand it).
Anecdotally, I feel much more rested in general under 117 than under the previous rules. I fly mostly domestic and didn't fly international prior to 117 so can't speak to the differences.
Fatigue data is the only way to really see the difference between the old system and the new system. I'm not aware of any public data showing fatigue calls before or after 117.
