we can expect exactly what the article says.
prob a 6 leg limit at the regionals
up to 10 hours of flying to allow transcon round trips during normal circadian rythm hours.
and less during red eye hours
i havent a clue whats going to happen with commuters- if anything.
I was hoping for 4 legs max and 12 hours of duty! I would also expect 12 hours min crew rest, this was a huge issue in the military and they did tons of studies on it and it was like A number one issue, we now have 12 hour mins per day, but again we can be on duty 24 hours in one day and fly 150 hrs a month! Max of 3 twenty four hour days in a row with min 12 hr crew rest, then you SHOULD get 36 hrs off.
