Just use your brains folks....6 sectors...14+ duty hours...hand flying...convective weather....non-precision approach....formula for disaster...but hey...fault the company...one cannot because it's legal!!!! The FAA regs are stone-age...and hence the FAA's nickname...the "tombstone agency" because people have to die before they enact changes....and unfortunately not enough people have died for them to piss off the airlines by enacting regulations that give regional pilots reasonable rest/duty regulations...lived it, survived it, 20 yrs younger ago.....wouldn't try it now.....rather flip burgers and live in a fridge box in an alley...
