I wonder how many guys are going to screw this up and fly over to be a team player. Old habits are hard to break.
There are actually a pile of over 8 days on the ATL 320... yikes! The highest I've found was 8:38.

To get a violation?

I don't think that would be a hard habit to break.

Surely they know its about 95% guys on here.

The advertisers must think we will get our wives some boob cream for Christmas.



If I bought her this stuff I would have no problems with the Chief pilot. My injuries would be easily verifiable.
The APC name of that stuff:
"Time Off Cream"

I like the term even if I don't use it. I was just wondering if anyone knew how it started.
Is it anything like the "Trunk Monkey"

I found an 8:13 and an 8:37 on the 4th day of a 4 day and the 5th day of a 5 day. Why do this on the last days?
And after the shortest rest night as well.

BTW-- good catch22 scene... thanks for wasting 22 min of my life, I couldn't stop clicking on other scenes. Good flick, never saw it, only read the book. Now I'll have to watch it
You can "back door it", if that's your thing and all

What is the new 117 daily block limit? They raised it form 8? I thought 117 was about working less, not more?

Maximum crew duty day was shortened. Daily block limit is now based on sign in time, and number of legs with a maximum of 9.0 hours but it can also be less than 8, based on the two variables mentioned.

All the updates are there back to 2009 but you have to look in the library not the recent updates. Some interesting reading from the merger time-frame. Geez
