It is terribly clear that neither should have ever been allowed inside a 121 cockpit.

If you take care of yourself, a 16 hour day is nothing. It's fatiguing, if done all the time, but if you can't handle a couple of long days sitting on your butt, then I call you Sallies. That's right.

And to those of you who think tougher government regs and rules are going to increase your QOL, take the blind-folds off!! Jeeeezus tell me when just one restriction the gov't has imposed on you has done you any good.

Might as well turn the U.S. into a semi-socialist state...seems it's the only way some of you will be happy!
