And no, this isn’t for the 5% who may abuse the policy.
So where’s the FAA on this? Oh, wait a minute!!
The sad thing is they would only have to send a couple of people to the doctor to achieve their goals......after most will be afraid to call in fatigued. Even is this isn’t true, the rumor will be enough to stop some pilots from calling fatigue.
