Winter Solstice 2012 HSLD?? Are the lawmakers praying that the Mayans were right so the rules dont have to go into effect? It would not surprise me in the least....

Are the rules effective today upon release, or is there an implementation period?

So you are saying that the airlines are going to have to change their schedules overnight? Or wait by next week..?

Apparently some of the rules are to be implemented immediately, others a grace period. We'll find out for sure in 40 minutes.
