You, sir, have raised the bar VERY high. Well done! We are all in awe. We need to convene a NewK, T Square and Carl Spackler summit....the rest of us will just take notes. In fact, if Syria, Russia and the US would be amenable, the real world would work as its supposed to. Just bring the cheerleaders!
Agreed. Tsquare has done broke the code. I will sit silently at the summit in the presence of that much awesomeness.
Carl
PS: I also noticed tsquare was wise in bringing that SUV to his cheerleader fishing trip in case he caught the limit.

Short Layovers
I see a lot of talk about not doing standups here but no solutions. We currently have layovers that we do that aren't legal anymore. I remember doing the ATL-PTY-ATL that had 9 or less hours of layover time. The new regs require 8 hours at the hotel and a 10 hour break which can include the van ride. If you can't layover one crew on a short layover how do you fix the rotation if you refuse standups? 35 layovers in Panama might be cool, but that's not my idea of productive unless they're going to pay me for it

I think the solutions will either be higher pay for a standup, via rig or something like it, 30+ hour layover or a DH out in the morning. (the company doesn't like the DH, the pilots don't like standups)...
