Do you support our current rules or what ALPA proposed? Simple question. One or the other.
I know in forumworld, we all get exactly what we want because we are pilots and we know it all, and if our leader just had the cajones to go to jail, blah, blah, blah... but in the real world, other entities get a vote. We can either work to craft a solution, or stand on the sidelines and shout our concerns, while being ignored because we take an all or nothing stand.
While much of what you say is true... there is NO compromise on safety. Wasn't that once ALPA's mantra? Whatever happened to that? This kind of bill cannot be viewed "as a whole" But.. in that vein, it might be an OK thing.. except, that flying 9 hours is not safe... Period. Therefore, the entire thing fails. Sorry.. you lose on this. OR rather we lose if it passes.... It is shameful. ALPA is now negotiating safety.
