The 12 hour rule is a pinnacle thing. I cant remember the last time I had a cocktail on an overnight.

Might be able to change it if everyone, when called on a day off to pick up some extra time, said, "I'd love to, but unfortunately I had a drink nine hours ago." And when some scheduler says nine is fine, reply, "Have Mickey call me and give me written authorization."

Just shows that their argument that the equipment can't support higher pilot pay is bogus

The 12 hour rule is great when the try and activate your 10am reserve by changing it to a 8:00am show. "Sorry, Irene but I had a beer at 10pm so I am not allowed to show till 10am."

It is because there is nowhere to go. I have talked to I cant even tell you how many captains that cant wait to leave but they have been having their interviews cancelled or there is just no one hiring. All of the senior captains with 3000+ TPIC are kicking themselves now because they should have left when the going was good a year or so ago.
