RedeyeAV8r: The testing and possible exemption is for daytime, normal wake-period flying. We are hoping to reduce the number of redeyes following day-rests.

Packer Backer, where did anyone say anything about three legs?? Our testing and possible exemption request will be for very specific TWO-LEG flights. Like JFK-LAS-JFK I described. NO Three or more leg flights over current flight/duty rules.

What is wrong with having a day with more flight time, only two legs, within a regular duty day, or shorter duty day??? I guess you don't see the advantages, you do work by the hour right?? And you do like being home with the wife/family right? So why not get more productive trips??

I'm sure you don't bid for pairings that have the LEAST flight/credit per day, do you?? I'm sure you bid for the most flight/cridit per day as long as the pairing doesn't have your personal avoid-cities or other preferences. Unless you like being on the road, staying in hotels.?

When I'm at work I want to work to the max and get back home. I work so I can have the home/life I have, not visa-versa.

Again, the exemption may never get filed, I fear it is still-born.
