cblaisd, quite to the contrary.
I have found ways to adhere to the new rules and will continue to do so. What I am really saying is,
If I can take a 4 day business trip in adherence with the FAA rules, why can't the flight crew? Actually I offer kudos to the pilots (both male and female), they are and always have been in adherance with the new rules.
Those of us who are really serious travelers, passengers and crew alike, need to give a good example.
OBTW, I very much appreciate those of you who have disagreed with me in a very civilized, polite manner. IMHO, that is the hallmark of FT, and the very best way we can learn from one another.
Off to pack my 1+1 bags for a transcon.
