The zero additional pilots isn't anything new, that's been the line for a while. FAR 117 basically mirrors most of our contract - the 9 hour flight time per day won't be as useful as you might think since you can't go over it. Also, from what I heard is any less pilots triggered by the 9 hours is negated by more augmentation needed on international runs.
