Default Fatigue mitigation memo

Did the most recent fatigue mitigation memo basically recycle the verbiage that they’re limiting 320 schedules to 3 legs per FDP? Because, let me tell you, a 5 hour flight followed by a 2.9 hour round trip penalty lap is not fatigue mitigating. I’m surprised this hasn’t increased fatigue calls more and disproven their theory that this is a good idea.

In all honesty it seems like making the operation more efficient and saving money is their main goal. It's good press to say they are concerned about fatigue.

Come to the 7ER. You could have a 5 hour flight followed by a 3.5 hour flight with a 3 hour sit in between. But hey, only 2 legs so not fatiguing, right?

Or come to the 717. 4-5 leg days, overnights of 12.5/10.5/12. Day two going ORD-LGA-BOS-LGA-BOS. Not at all fatiguing.

Breaking news: Keeping crews with aircraft improves operational reliability.

Developing story: Putting warm external air on an aircraft is rarely a good idea.

(How many decades have we been doing this?)

Ha. I remember 10 years ago when my regional cracked this code. Game changer.

Hilarious how it even gets a fancy name 'full kitting'. Who comes up with this crap and how much do they get paid?
