Default From Bloomberg online this morning (Fri 9/10)

Some "major aviation announcement" from the FAA at 1pm today.

U.S. Airline Pilots Said to Get More Rest Under FAA Overhaul - Bloomberg

Minimum 9 hours rest
Minimum 30 consecutive hours off each 7 days
Maximum 10 hours flying w/ max duty reduced to 13 hours

Be interesting to see if the max flying and duty time limits vary based on length of day, start time, etc. as had been rumored.

With more rest and shorter duty required to go with higher hours permitted in a duty period, this will probably end up being a wash as far as staffing goes.
