1000hrs max for 121????
ok, some 121 carriers are allowed to operate at 1200hrs tt per year for 30 seat and below aircraft. I hear that friday the powers to be are recomending repealing this and all 121 ops limited to 1000 per year, regardless of seat size. Can anyone shed some light???

I agree most guys right now cant break credit unless they are really senior, its just something Im hearing through the grapvine, but since I dont have a lot of solid info, I thought maybe someone else would have it if it exists

Let's see... last year I flew something like 1350 hours part 121. And in the last 12 consecutive months I've flown 1150 hours 121/135.
I really don't see what limiting you to 1000 hours a year is going to do, hours I flew in July don't affect my flying performance in August. I'm not sitting in the plane going "man, if I only hadn't flown so much last month I would be more alert right now".

That's nothing!
In Alaska most part 121 operators fly crews under two man 135 at 1400 hrs a year! (Part 121 reg, intra Alaska only). I flew 1355 hrs. in 07 and 1270 hrs. in 08. I was tired all the time but the money was nice. Its hard to cover a state this size with a 1000 hrs. per pilot. Is the government going to give my airline the money to train up the extra pilots we will need? I hope they think this over before they do it.

However, on average I'm wiped out by day 4, usually only flying 18-20 hours but with long duty days, excessive sit time, and short "rest" periods.
