I launched this blog on 25-December-2012, with the explicit purposes to aid the airline industry, labor and management, in having an unbiased interpretation of the new regulations FAR 117 – Flight and Duty Time limitations and Rest Requirements: Flightcrew Members.

In that time I have learned a great deal, and I hope my readers have as well.

I have always striven to keep the information as current as possible.

Lately, I have found that many carriers have some different interpretations, and have seen that these interpretations lend themselves to a specific business models, but in the end they maintain the full purpose of the regulation as currently written.

I expect that over the next few years, the FAA will continue to clarify the regulation.

Thanks again for your support, over 70000 views and numerous requests for information.
