Be careful here folks...

Congress can legislate rest requirements, but they are not going to legislate pay or guarantee you 15+ days off each month.

If we get limited to say 6 flight hours/10 duty hours each day with 12+ hour overnights we will still need to fly 80 hours/month.

Even if congress requires two days off between trips (instead of 24 hours) you could still end up on the road 5 days per week in order to get your block time.

Poorly executed, this sort of campaign could adversely impact the character of this profession and our lifestyles.
