the carrier could require that all flightcrew members spend the night prior to starting a series of FDPs within the local commuting area.

so they re going to buy us hotel rooms now??

this $hit is never gonna fly

what s gonna happen is is some kind of annual memo that we all have to sign saying we should all be aware of the effects of fatigue and commuters must be rested iaw FAR91 bla bla bla...


problem solved, the FAA will be happy..

yet they're ok with flying us 10hrs / day.. how rested would they be at the end of a 10 hr flight with NO break (2 pilot crew) doing an approach in fog/snow/slippery rwy/ mountainous terrain/night....
don t they say most accidents happen during the approach and landing phase of flight..

remember there s no reading/napping/etc.. in the cockpit, you must seat still and look at that PFD for 10 hrs

useless *******ing agency...
and where is ALPA on this???
