Who is saying adopting 117 over the CBA? If the CBA is more restrictive, then we go with the CBA, just like we do now. We can already block over 8 in a duty period without an RFO. The CBA is currently more restrictive than the FAR's regarding RFO's.
It wasn't pilots that tried to get us cut out of 117, it was the cargo companies. Why do you think that is?
