The 8 hour waiver is just the beginning. Accepting this as the "norm" will result in future degradation of the current regulations. I believe in Darwinism but do not support changing rules that are contrary to flight safety. Anyone who thinks flying a 10+ hour LA turn safely with a 2 pilot crew is naive.
I know it must be exciting being at JB right now but what will happen 5 or 10 years down the road. Once you lower the bar it is not easy raise it again.
Good Luck.
