Yes and indeed the FARs and our contract dictate that a mint seat meets those requirements, and yes certain TATL flights at certain times of year would not require augmentation to extend duty time (on a good day with no delays) but with little cushion. In fact if an augment falls sick downrange expect them to plan an attempt back to base unaugmented or at least get to Halifax or St. Johns. That’s really all he was saying and he is correct.
