The 10 hour rest period must provide the flightcrew member with a minimum of 8 uninterrupted hours of sleep opportunity.
If a flightcrew member determines that a rest period under paragraph (e) of this section will not provide eight uninterrupted hours of sleep opportunity, the flightcrew member must notify the certificate holder.

Suitable accommodation not middle seat in the back.

From a company standpoint your 3 days off is a 72 hour rest period. I think pilots will have to be in base 10 hours prior to show. I have not been through the company training program so I wonder how our POI and training department will interpret FAR Part 117.
