The US should adopt the JAR Ops duty/rest regulations. Much more civilized than the FARs.

As for forced based living… especially in the north east??? Right. I say to management, go for it! Hopefully the regional guys would stake stock and tell management to go sh!t in their hats as the pay just ain’t worth it! Now who is going to fly the plane?

Maybe… and I say maybe these overpaid morons in management will wake up and make arrangements for hotels for the commuter so they would be well rested before their start of duty.

When flying cargo, I slept in the dark rooms. Better than the reclining chair, as long as you did not have a wall shaking window cracking snorer sharing your room.
