Yep, some majors have a "few" short overnights... and if you take a look at their schedules, you will likely see the next morning flights going out late... you regional guys will bite the bullet and show with only 8 hours cockpit to cockpit....

I'd be willing to bet that at major carriers, a pilot has more to lose by accepting a POS aircraft than by writing it up and getting it fixed. Their duty rig, or trip rig will cover them while they get it fixed like they are supposed to... oh wait... you don't have those either....

Sit's... sure, majors have them... they also have trip & duty rigs.... see above.

When every single hour of pay is needed just to put food on your table like most regional pilots living hand to mouth, it is much more difficult to pull the fatigue rip chord... you can deny it, but it's true.

Oh, and you are correct..... 90% of the problems ARE at regionals.
