although i dont think anyone should be breaking the time rules,
i wonder why the FAA is more upset about these transcon pilot staring blankly into space answering radio calls, turning a flight director for 12 hours and only shooting 2 approaches with people in the back
they should be more concerned with regional pilots who are on duty 15 hours shooting 7 approaches with no autopilot.
.......cause the FAA is governed by bodybag legislature, i woulda thought the comair crash woulda finally ignited the spark to fix the regional working conditions, but no
