I know at my previous company it would not have been...

It is. 15 hrs sked including a operated flight via PWA and no FAR limit

Whitlow does not apply to DH unless prior to a flight. As for post flight with no FAR defined flying you can go non-stop. Was on duty one time for 36 hrs at the end of a DH. There is no real FAR limit to that, only PWA.

They're pushing the boundaries, boys! Time to hire.

These boundaries will be pushed for the remainder of your career with the work rules in place combined with the retirements coming.

Oh yeah, now I remember. There is a nearly naked woman at the top there with some weird dogs, and a big fat marshmallow man coming down the road.

NYC was ugly yesterday. We've got crews scattered in hotels you've never heard of. Golden Touch was an hour late picking us up after we were an hour late....and my first room at the downtown hotel had two old Italians in it. I got another one.

Scheduling: "Yes, so we're just gonna switch that to 10 AM, alright?"
Me: "OK"
Scheduling: "I'll show you acknowledged!"

Should have bid the ER in NY. If you're commuting you should commute to a better lifestyle. I sat as the plug on the 88 in ATL for a bit. It sucks!! Way more gentlemanly sitting reserve of the ER. A lot less legs!!

What about 24-hour short call? Isn't 12-hour short call preferable domestically?
