That's easy, update the duty regs! I'd be ok with naps in the cockpit so long as the naps are not used against us. IE, getting even more grief for calling in fatigued, or extending our already long duty day.

Did ANYONE notice whom was pushing this in the video? It was the RAA. What do you think? I refuse to believe the regional airline association has had a change of heart and now actually cares about anything outside of the regionals coffers. They're pushing this through so they can say "hey, now we don't need to reduce the duty limits!"

if anyone recalls how the RAA behaved and what came out of their mouths during the congressional hearings this past summer, I think you'll remember that they pretty much lied / twisted the truth and made sure the committee thought everything was hunky dorey in our training, fatigue, pay and general status of the regional industry.

The RAA has budgets and bottom lines in mind as they try and lobby for this. They dont give a hoot about whether it's actually going to improve anything. A reduced duty day would cost the regionals tons of cash since it would severely affect staffing levels. These people are not on our side at all!
