I hope so too, but........it will be very tough, even for the FAA to impose safety on the airlines' managements (esp. FedEx)

The "person" that could do us all the most good is the individual pilot.

DON'T FLY FATIGUED!

(don't voluntarily pick up FATIGUING DISPUTED PAIRINGS)

It's simple, and it's the ONLY way the company is going to get the message to back off the mythical "optimizer"

Follow the company's direct guidance and if you're not fit to fly, DON'T!!

P.S. The company will figure out a way to still get the freight there on time - it may take a few more pilots on the payroll and strategically placed throughout the system on standby (or something to that effect), but.......they'll figure out a way - and still manage to make a profit doing it.
