It's not JUST regionals. Has anyone looked at the 121 supplemental rules for rest? Heck at least 135 as a MANDATORY MINIMUM 10 hours rest period! Another BIG problem with regionals, at my company, the company as started MANDATING van times. The problem is this is on our REST time AND at times is 45 minutes before our duty on time because of a combination of hotel distance and uncooperative hotels with van availablity. So an already 9 hours scheduled rest gets cut to 8 for inbound delay and waiting 30 minutes for the van to pick us up and then tack on a mandated van time and you really have more like 6.5 to 7 hours away from the airport.... Sure that's safe to then work another 11+ hours the next day....
And you guys wonder why regional pilots look like crud some days..
