There's a problem with 117, and that is our schedulers. You know that the people on 6 days and shorter tours will still be getting the same unsafe and reckless scheduling. The only benefit of 117 is if you are working 7 and 8 day tours. Any improvements in safety need to come uniquely ruled to our type of operation.
