How about simply abiding by FAR 91.17?

Why create more rules when there are already clearly defined ones that prohibit drinking within 8 hrs and 0.04%. Or.......I'd be happy not to drink at all on a multi-day layover if I'm paid the going rate for a contract pilot on those days off, in addition to my base salary.

Corporate and 135 operators are going to have to bend over backwards with all the airline hiring going on to not only find pilots, but keep them. And I'm talking a lot more than simply increasing pay. None of this on call 24/7, rolling rest, minimal vacation stuff, that so many operators think they can get away with like its still 2008

I'm not trying to be a prick, I'm just stating the blunt reality of the situation
