I'm glad you prefer the 9-5 routine. I prefer working 3 on 4 off. I enjoy my 4 weeks of vacation that I turn into 12 weeks because of said 3on/4off schedules. I doubt many people work less than I do. Thanks for your concern about my health, but it is fine and I get plenty of rest.
Serious, you must be a joy to fly with.
Your attitude is dangerous!!! I can see an FO wanting to call in fatigued and you try and talk him out of it "Listen, you have only been on duty for 12:55 minutes, only flown 5:44 minutes and had 3 days off before starting this 4 day, you can not be fatigued using my calculations so you should not and can not be fatigued."
Your attitude is more dangerous than any poorly trained pilot in the sky. You want to fight a change that will make the industry safer as a whole. It does not matter if 3407 could have been prevented with new rest rules, the skies will be safer with them. If you are not able to see and realize this obvious fact I do not know your type of dangerous thinking can ever be changed.
