When we operated exclusively under Supplemental rules, we incorporated some of those rules by repeating them in our CBA. The thought was that if the FARs were to change, we would preserve those protections through CBA language.

Our CBA 8-in-24 rule is a perfect example. While most of our flying is now done under Domestic or Flag rules, we still have the protection of the Supplemental rule by way of our CBA.

The 2015 TA gives that away in hopes we'll see 36 hour layover on some trips.

What we'll definitely see is shortened layovers on day flights.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. After all, we don't want The Company to fail because they have to honor our 8-in-24 rule, do we?
