From my limited perspective, I don’t think we want Part 117 in cargo. Am I missing something? Wouldn’t it potentially wreck a commuter’s flexibility?
I’m all ears.
Anything that causes an ALPA pilot group to need to hire more pilots, is what they will push for. Even if it will take away QOL. The more pilots, the more union dues. Our schedule flexibility is about to go away.
