Where I work, I rarely see less than 11-12 hours of scheduled rest. Before 117, my "rest" on the hotel van was reducible to 8 hours.
Lost pay for FT calls will never be an FAA concern.
Showing up for IOE after a redeye commute and posting on the innerwebz about it is just…dumb.
Because now I have to work 18-19 days a month for the same pay instead of 15-16 a month. When I was in the regional world, fatigue reports abs complaints tripled after 117. I know because I had a convo with the FRMP manager.
117 was a total swing and a miss. The FAA told the company they were going to have to pay more money and the company just passed the costs on down to their pilots.
