Was anyone in the recurrent ground recently when the POI sat in? I hear that major red flags were raised when the class started talking about rest requirements and reduced rest. I guess he agrees that reduced rest is suppose to be the exception and not the rule. I encourage everyone who gets a schedule with reduced rest to email it to the FAA. I think thhey are on to something here and I think we can speed it up when we show them that regular schedules are being built with reduced rest. Reduced rest was designed to keep a flight schedule going when the last flight in is delayed due to other circumstances, not as a way to strategically build a schedule.

I also encourage you to write to your congressman on the issue.
