Mine is 10.5 block in/out or 11.5 on the ground. Below that, it's a fatigue call. I may be adjusting this upward.

And you are correct the fatigue calls are skyrocketing It is a matter of time before the FAA notices.
What the hell are you talking about? FA rules?

10 hour is minimum rest. Flight attendants are 9 hour min. Maybe that’s what you were referring to?

FAs have 10hrs now. I would guess he isn’t counting the 30 minutes travel each way. You aren’t resting so it’s bs they count that. I have higher personal mins. Sorry I don’t have an on off switch. Anything below 12 will get my attention below 11.5 will be a fatigue call. I’m to old for that short night crap and won’t compromise my health or safety for this airline.

Well in that case, then yes, that is unacceptable. But the way new beeks was putting it, it was hard to understand what he was saying.

2. Is it the most senior folks who tend to bid ETOPS?
Thanks in advance for an insights.
You can also trade into ETOPS trips. Trade your mainland 3 day for an ETOPS 3 or 4 day. I see them in trip trade all the time.
