Thirdly, do you really think that the government as it is now would ever do anything like this? It is totally dysfunctional as it is!

Finally do you really think that the government cares about pilots? All they care about is warm bodies in seats being paid minimum wage. Safety? The'll just automate it to monkey level, and when it takes a dump will still blame you, give you more training (if your alive) and send you on your merry way. Then they would just spin it to the public!

Maybe your not a cargo pilot and don't remember the cargo carve out on the rest requirements. Not saying that those rest requirements truly fit the cargo environment, but we got squat other than our government telling us that we are expendable. I will never forget that.

It sure is unfortunate that pilots are willing to work for so little.
