Brethren!
I just finished reading the latest Flight Ops Bulletin explaining the new FAR Part 117 Flight and Duty Time Regulations that take effect January 1, 2014. I am not sure how other airlines plan to handle the new regs, but Big D has decided that BOTH the Captain AND the First Officer must now sign the Flight Dispatch Release---to certify they are fit for duty---prior to departure. Yes; you read that correctly. The powers that be have decided that First Officers should have a say in things.
(sigh)
John Mullis, be thankful you are retired. The camel's head is now under the tent wall.
