Rumor has it that UPS is very unhappy with the lawsuit and possible cargo cut out elimination. They are not a party to the lawsuit. I predict that this will go our way. Unfortunately, labor will retaliate by dragging out contract talks. But I'll live with our current contract until a better one is on the table.

Do you really believe what you just wrote. May want to read up some on the process that was used to implement the rules. You would find it interesting. I did.
I disagree, unfortunately, with J.E. I don't think anything will change with the current rest rules. (Unless there is some significant flaw discovered with the OMB's process). I hope I am wrong.

I think that the biggest flaw with the cargo cut will be the law that congress passed. It did not provide for a cargo cut out, the FAA did that on it's own.
It's ironic that the industry segment that really needs these rules (and can more easily afford) didn't get included. The cargo cut out will not stand.

The FAA is part of the executive branch. When it comes to big policy changes, they don't do anything on their own.
