Back to the original idea, I can't remember how many tests NASA has done on fatigue and the effects on the human body. Although; they never seem to get the FAA to impose new flight rules and duty rest... Now JBlue does one test with a few pilots and a doctor with their own definition of what fatigue is, and things my change to a 9 hour day? Give me a brake. I wonder what the actual tests showed? Maybe the pilots showed fatigue with less then 8 hours and they are trying all sorts of formulas to show otherwise....If you put enough money (Lobbying) behind anything, it will get past....LOOK OUT, 9hr, 10hr, 11hr....

Sounds like you've got some residual guilt from anti-union behavior prior to ALPA representation at FedEx. Guess the FPA didn't work out so well, did it?

Just proves you don't have to be smart to work at JB. Come on guys, think a little!!!
I too predict JB will be in the history books right next to every other airline that came and went. I give them three years tops! Less if they keep up the stupid pet tricks.

Hmm. I wouldn't say that. Continental had some questionable Europe flights that needed IRO's that didn't have them as I do recall.
Besides about 700-800 of Continental pilots willing cross legal picket lines.
My point is, don't go pointing the finger at other airlines when you don't have yours in check.

(4) : one who works for less than union wages or on nonunion terms.
There are no union wages or terms at JetBlue.
