Supp does limit us to 16hrs scheduled. Flag must have adequate sleeping quarters on the airplane if a pilot is scheduled to fly MORE than 12 hrs in any 24 hour period.

Flag must also have a rest period at his home base equal to twice the block hours flown since his last rest at his home base.

Bring on the 777!

Thanks for filling me in Jetcok. As far as the S/O comment, I was joking. Looks like you replaced your fourth stripe with a chip or two.

Yeah Douche130, I guess I should have figured out that you were joking. It's plain as day, in black and white. Maybe you could have used a sarcastic icon or something else to give that impression. After all, that's the problem with this type of media, unless you know the author, and his or her sense of humor, you're stuck with reading the words.

Now you've done it ... be warned. You're about to get Jetjok's lecture about how you have no right to tell people anything .... about how his values are obviously so much different than yours and ... about how, "Well, he wouldn't expect someone like you to understand." You'll hear about how he took such good care of his crews and about how you probably don't ...

yada, tada, yada ... I sure hope that when I grow up, I'm nearly as good as he is

And remember JetJok, the only other seat in the Jet that sits sideways ... FLUSHES!

Man after six or so your feeder plane truns into a glider.

Go big and long or stay home.

Default both of them

I flew with Deuce in another world and JetJok in this one. Like 'em both, and away from this forum, they'd hit it off. Both of them are pros.....lay off....stand down....drinks are on me.
