Yes, and therein lies the paradox. We've (airline pilots) been pushing for better work rules, especially those concerning duty time and rest between flights, since the first jet aircraft were delivered to Pan Am, TWA, Eastern, etc, etc, and now that we're on the verge of something positive actually happening, there are those in this profession, who still don't see "el picture grande." No doubt, the changes could very likely effect our quality of life somewhat, but the tradeoff would hopefully be that we'd operate, day in and day out, in a much safer mode, because we've been allowed to get adequate rest. Personally I feel it's a good tradeoff. At least for now.
