Excellent topic. Hope the rest of the US media will pick it up and so will the legislators.

But remember what happened last time: a crash due to not adequately trained pilots with a lack of sleep. So what do they do about it:

No:
-Improved salary to pay for proper accomodation
-No rules on proper rest
-No proper rest facilities made available to pilots
-No improved training

Yes
-Increase in minimum hours flying C150 and the like before you are hired as window dressing with no cost to the airlines (how that helps to prepare for working on a complex aircraft is beyond me....)
