Another Way To Fight The Cargo Carve-Out!

All good points. Safety is important as long as it does not effect my quality of life. Your judgement concerns me, Captain.
As fatigue is a contributing factor in a large number of accidents, why would you not want to discuss the impact it had on people that died as a result of it? Oh yeah, I forgot, it is because it might effect your quality of life...got it.

Nice way to question my judgement, but you would be wrong in that regard.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your concern with the new rules.

ALPA has been unable to convince them to stop. I would like a little help from new rules.

That is a good point about multiple body clock swaps. The company is mostly blind to it. 24 hr layovers on short, TAFB trips appear to be a fix all when optimizing our flying for the lowest cost.

What does "re-acclimate to the day schedule on your week off" have to do with the safe operation of aircraft? If you're acclimated for your duty period, that is enhancing safety of flight. If you're unacclimated for attending your daughter's dance recital or your buddy's BBQ on your days off, then safety of flight is not compromised.

§ 117.27 Consecutive nighttime operations.
No certificate holder may schedule and no flightcrew member may accept more than three consecutive nighttime flight duty periods unless the certificate holder provides an opportunity to rest during the flight duty period in accordance with § 117.17.
§ 117.17 Flight duty period: Split duty.
For a split duty period, a certificate holder may extend and a flightcrew member may accept a flight duty period up to 50 percent of time that the flightcrew member spent in a suitable accommodation up to a maximum flight duty period of 12 hours provided the flightcrew member is given a minimum opportunity to rest in a suitable accommodation of 4 hours, measured from the time the flightcrew member reaches the rest facility.
The above is what I found. There may be exceptions etc...... YMMV

Change for the sake of change isn't always good. It would be nice to know what the changes are before we accept them.
What it could do to cargo is limit our week on week off flying. Swapping day/night schedules by working 3-4 days a week every week leaves no time to recuperate before you head back to work.

to the OP, I've called as have all my friends... keep up the good fight.
