FAA Proposes Rest Requirement Overhaul

[N826AW]

I found this article in today’s ALPA news email. The FAA submitted a proposal to overhaul rest requirements including a limit on early starts; increase in rest before an early start amongst other changes. The proposal is open for public comment until May.

This would be life-changing for people stuck on ~3am reserve, and is desperately needed.

I would argue for a larger reduction in the FDP-in-672, and a consideration of pre-6am RAP callouts as breaking WOCL, but generally these changes are critically needed.

Makes me wish I'd filed ASAPs on stuff like this.

Look at the date. Nice try.

Cargo included? Or still not worthy / nobody cares about them, but them?

The website is suspicious, combined with April 1. I can't find anything about the changes anywhere.

If that's an April 1joke, it's gotta be the absolute lamest one ever.

It also SHOULD be real. It absolutely NEEDS to be real.

I admit, I was suspicious when it identified the gender of an ASAP reporter, though.

I feel like somebody got their site hacked, and it's a bunch of AI slop. That writer has 96 articles in the last week.

Nobody cares unless a cargo plane crashes into a senators house at 3am. 117 is being pursued again to include cargo carriers. Hopefully it gains traction and certain carriers don’t show up with a briefcase of money and ruin everything.
