Good points. I'd also add that the company dragging its feet on 117 negotiations inflated IA/RR/GS numbers.

If nothing else, walking off the plane and calling the duty pilot is probably a good place to start. Flying fatigued because you couldn't/wouldn't stop the operation is unsat. (I'm going to ignore the "don't normally defend ALPA" part...)LOL |

How? Never received any guidance from ALPA on that.

I gotta quick question. We on the MD based products seem to do a number of these three hour out station sits. I heard an Asa guy saying they were doing that too.
Is that Part 117 related? Not a big deal just curious. Oh and nonreving sucks ###########. We ended up staying at the Renaissance last night and as a family we watched planes takeoff and land. Observation, the second high speed on 26R looks way shorter from ten stories up then it does on the ground. The 88 thrust reverses are obnoxiously loud... Just like when sitting in the back. The 90 looks like it's barely hanging on when it comes in. And I know Bar... It is barely hanging on. :D 717s are series than everyone else's plane but I am not biased. And A320 pilots I have a little piece of advice... Nobody likes a showoff. Freaking greases every time. It only took 25 hours to fly to a place that's a ten hour drive away. So I reserved a one way rental back. |

Continued delay. Was to be shipped to everyone last month.
Of all things, they can not get it to push documents and updates to us. Many software engineers in Redmond "working on it." Jump seated Mesa two days ago into PHX. Again, for emphasis. Mesa. They have iPads. I was feeling bad enough watching the Alaska and USAir dudes use theirs! Microsoft: "We have our best people looking into it" Us: "Who?" Microsoft: "our best people" Ferd |

Unbelievable, a pilot that can't be assertive enough call in fatigued blames ALPA for his weakness. Live with the decision you made and stop blaming others.

I wasn't calling in fatigued. I wanted to refuse an extension. Not the same thing.

^^^This... Amazing to me how many people don't understand this distinction. You don't have to be fatigued to refuse an extension. "Because I don't want to" is a perfectly legitimate reason to refuse an extension.
I believe the intent of the rule is to force operators to schedule shorter days (than the old rules) but still allow for schedule interruptions. Instead of saying companies are allowed to schedule x hours and fly y hours they (wisely) included language that forces the crew to assess their fitness for duty and formally affirm it before continuing. It's functionally no different than a fatigue call. |
