When the new rest rules take effect, 16 hour 4 days will be the norm. Many have warned about the law of unintended consequences, now we will see! The buffer they need to build into the schedules since you are no longer legal to start, legal to finish will leave us well rested......in hotels on the road away from our families for much less pay....same days away. Perfect! We had best all come together and demand another pay system than this antiquated block hour system. Lets go to a straight salary with OT or increase min day or min guarantee. I'm not doing this job for 16-18 days a month for 75 hours. Now THAT will bring on a pilot shortage!

I would love to see something along the lines of 5hr min pay per duty day like CAL has in the JCBA.

Attrition numbers are crazy. ERJ CAs are leaving in droves and attrition is double the ERJ FOs. CRJ side has had more FOs leave than CAs! I guess ASA is flooded with Captains that are lifers, or waiting for DAL

But it won't be. It's not the fact of them doing it if they want or put in some effort. They cannot and will not make those schedules (as the norm) because of no more legal to start-legal to finish. Trips wil be more like 3-2-2-3, and on the 200, 10 legs gets you about 12-14 hours of block.
