Mother of god your work rules. The Feds would never allow something like that on the other side of the radio and any airline with a halfway decent SMS or fatigue program would see their pilots calling off in droves. Just reading that makes me feel like I need to call off my next trip jeez.

Do you have a fatigue program at all? In pilot for pay world we have a minimum 10 hours rest with an opportunity for 8 hours sleep. It's usually more than that because 10 hours off as you know doesn't give you any real rest or the ability to eat a healthy meal or exercise. How long do you sit at your station controlling airplanes? Do get any kind of real break when you're at work?

Have the really high up people made any noises about limiting the number of aircraft in the air due to controller staffing? Airlines (esp mine) love to blame ATC for their delays and I'm just wondering when the FAA might start pushing back on the seemingly never ending number of flights being added. There is certainly a maximum number of airplanes that can be in the air safely and it feels like we're getting pretty close to that number

shame on an IGA posted:

The whole thing didn't even make sense, BWI and Andrews are like, right there

They say in the movie that they've all only got like 90 minutes of fuel left, otherwise "you'll have airplanes falling on the whitehouse lawn" or something. Like, the whole of the eastern seaboard and the a bunch of the midwest are options at that point. Land in PIT and have a much better time than in DC
