In all seriousness though, imitation is a form of flattery so you guys must be doing something right.

There’s also a shorter duty than 117 and a rdp protection but can’t remember the numbers. I’m really not looking to correct people just put the info out there so pilots don’t accept contractually illegal assignments. It killed us last contract.
