I have to admit, there are times when the flying can be difficult. However, I'd love for the union, or anyone, to show me how FAR117, or any new rule, would keep me from getting tired when flying at night.

Yes, this job can be fatiguing at time. If so, call in fatigued. End of story.

But what are the undesired after affects of us getting FAR117?

FedEx ALPA says they are doing a study and we should know the results soon. I argue we should already know! The new rules aren't new. And this damn TA put 6 week bid periods in for possible fatigue mitigation.
