"JetBlue flights have been severely delayed or canceled since Friday due to weather impacts on the East Coast and in the Midwest as well as new Federal Aviation Administration guidelines about how much rest pilots must now have."
...and so it begins.
Expect to hear this language appended to each and every airline generated statement regarding degradation of service, regardless of cause.

The problem is that this same thing happened to JB in 2008(or 07??) under the old rules.

We started 117 on 1/1, but my first two days of the six were 12/30 and 12/31. I still think it is legal, though. I didn't realize this was in the regional section. Each day was a single 5-6 hour leg, so no long FDP's.
