In my pax flying days, it definitely gave me more rest opportunity, but absolutely destroyed my QOL. I was never a fan of 117 and most I knew agreed.
Hi Flyguy,
Honest question here. Other than 4 years as a pax commuter pilot in the 90s, I’ve flown nothing but part 121 freight since then. I can see by the charts in the 117 rules, that rest periods are better and governed by circadian rhythm. But, again coming from a 121 freight guy, how did it affect your quality of life and why do you believe it was adversely affected?
TIA, FAJ
