i just wish the FAA would increase pilot rest periods.....it all goes back to the...."would you rather have convienience or would you rather die" because many mistakes happen because of lack of rest...in fact i was on an airline recently....a regional carrier, i wont mention names......but the f/a never gave us a breifing, which is required, and we took off and the pres. circuit breaker broke.....our ears were killing us, and my father had to see a doctor afterwards, the pilots never said a thing about it....and believe me it was bad.......very bad.....and i AM CONVINCED it was because the crew was on a reduced rest schedule.....
