Possible FAA duty times changes

[Trip7]

On Sunday I have a 5 leg 13hr and 35 min duty day blocking 7:57 with a 2 hr and 45min sit thrown in there. And this is day 4 of a 4 day. That's about as brutal as they come. The new duty regs will get rip of fatigue inducing pairing such as this. I would be perfectly content with 8 hrs of block in a 12 hr day. 13 and 1/2 hrs is way too long to be at work, especially on a 5 leg day.

Ick! I get a 2 1/2 nap, two meals and at least a 24 hours layover with that amount of work!

Nope. They say it'll cut down on days off since the company will just schedule to the minimums.

Yeah, that's dumb. I have a lot of one leg days where I get the min day credit, but that's because I'm on reserve.
