Pilot Napping - CNN
 

So the solution to pilot fatigue in the cockpit is to sleep in the cockpit. I love it!

That's just fantastic. Yet another useless knee-jerk reaction by the morons at the FAA to appease the morons in the public. What about all of us regional pilots that fly 7 or 8 leg days that we don't even have time to have a power nap? This is insanity at it's finest.

Works great for the long-haul guys, what about the rest of us in the trenches pushing 5+ legs per day? Much more fatiguing in my opinion.

If only NWA 188 had used that as an excuse, we would be seeing new regs asap....

I don't like this...it will enable ATA to push back on duty/rest limits..."but they can just sleep in the cockpit!"

You will have designated nap periods which will be deducted from your nightly rest and duty limits :rolleyes:

NASA Naps / Cruise Snooze studies happened ages ago.. This isn't new news.. plus its only supposed to be a short nap. 15 mins or so. If it actually comes through, it would help most of the regionals. Not the turbo prop super short flight guys.

Whatever it takes to keep GOV, Airline Management and USELESS FEDS busy with stupid ideas to justified there worthless jobs.

Instead of actually asking and working with THE PEOPLE THAT FLY THE D#@$ AIRPLANES!!!!!!!:mad:

It happened 20 yrs ago, it happens now and it will happened 20 from now. Money first and safety by a THIN TREAD...

Is that kind of like drinking to get rid of a hangover?

Guess I am in the minority that thinks it is a great idea? Y'all will always find something to complain about!!
