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.

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

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.
