Summary The FAA is issuing a Final Supplemental Regulatory Impact Analysis (Final SRIA) of its final rule that amended its existing flight, duty and rest regulations applicable to certain certificate holders and their flightcrew members. A copy of the Final SRIA may be found in the docket for the rulemaking. The Final SRIA responds to comments that were made in response to the Initial Supplemental Regulatory Impact Analysis, and, where appropriate, incorporates new information provided by the commenters. In addition, the Final SRIA makes adjustments to the methodology used to estimate the costs and benefits of applying the final flight, duty, and rest rule to cargo-only operations, and includes additional sensitivity analyses. The results of the Final SRIA concludes that the base-case benefits of applying the flight, duty, and rest rule to cargo-only operations would be about $3 million, and the high-case benefits of doing so would be about $10 million. Conversely, the costs of applying the flight, duty, and rest rule to cargo-only operations would be about $452 million. Because the results of the analysis continue to indicate that the costs of mandating all-cargo operation compliance with the new flight, duty, and rest rule significantly outweigh the benefits, the FAA has determined that no revisions to the final rule are warranted. |
Safety first... unless it costs too much.

Horrible :mad:
Big Eff'ing surprise though since Fred has Washington bought and paid for in his back pocket. Again, just horrible. |
Easy fix -- just drop the F bomb if you are tired. I don't know why guys are so afraid to do that.

I, for one, am relieved and overjoyed about this decision.

Bad and good. Next time you cargo guys jumpseat on a pax 121 carrier, ask them about the impact to their schedules and QOL thanks to 117.
I'd say on average you will work 1-2 days more per month to make the same pay compared to the previous rules...or take the pay hit to keep the same amount of days off. I'd say it hurt the pairings and most operators making the flying much less efficient. Not saying I agree with the FAAs decision, just pointing out what has happened to schedules and those impacted by 117. |
FedExField. That's the gift that keeps on giving, the whole year.

Never again. Don't think 117 is bad stuff, it's not. |
