You work for the automotive industry? High management probably, because you would last in this business very very shortly. Weeks maybe even days. You might even be unemployed making ignorant statements like that.
Unless the rewrite of 135 is going to make it mandatory, they have been working on this since I started 135 in 1994, most FAA and 135 operators will work as they have been since the day I remember. I have heard that it might even include variable flight and duty times depending on how many night landings and night flying you do. Like the JAR rules.
