It is going to come down to the comment section on what is the final rule.
Got it. I see where you are now. I do wish ALPA hadn't even proposed anything with the flight time over 8, but you are right. It's going to come down to the comment.
The rule as written puts IAD-CDG, FRA, AMS, LHR, BRU in play with 2 pilots and marginal tweaking, and IAD-GVA and ZRH in play with a little extra tweaking. That's just at UAL! Add CAL at EWR, AMR and DAL at JFK, and US at PHL and you have hundreds of pilot jobs at stake here. Hopefully ALPA will repond appropriately. We will see.
