FAA Rules...

It's always interesting with the way FAA Rules are applied or not applied to the rest of the World.

For example, will non-FAA registered aircraft operated by non-FAA licenced crew operating within FAA airspace and to and from FAA regulated destinations, be required to comply with the new FAA regulations regarding the new FAA Crew Duty Rules?

If not, then will the US Airlines will scream foul about foreign operators who are carrying US passengers and who do not need to comply with the new Fatigue Rules as having a competitive market advantage? You betcha sweet ar$e they will.

And perhaps the Worldwide aviation community will thus finally take the first tiny baby steps towards a common unified set of Rules to govern pilot fatigue and rest issues.

AFT...
