Does anyone have any idea where our new rest
Anyone in the know about what happened to our new rest rules?, if not does anyone know who we can contact in the FAA to find out. I have a bad feeling that this is not going to happen.

A legal 16-hour duty day is absurd and the rest of the western aviation world recognizes this by having more realistic max duty periods.
We shouldn't have to call in fatigued. We should have regulations which prevent this kind of thing.

Last I heard, NPRM (Notice for Public Rule Making?) is supposted to be out by the end of April according to FAA testimony to Congress....it was originally scheduled for the end of March....google FAA Fact Sheet for 1/27/2010 and read it...it says to expect an update in the Spring of this year.

FYI... Horizon is coming up with their our "new" rest requirements. This was caused by the extreme amount of fatigue calls/cancellations. This is one great example of the pilots and FA's working together to express good decision making, unity, and the responsibility of a airline crew. Through the fatigue calls MGMT is evaluating and will likely change the rest requirements and duty day. Rumors are no less than 10 rest and max duty of 12 hours.
Now, let actually see if it goes through. At AAG they are going to the extreme of crunching pennies. So, if those new times do go through then it is a step in the right derection. Good job to the QX crews that called in fatigued and didn't fly fatigued.
