Back on topic, I don't know more than anyone else, that's why I am looking for clarification.
It reads to me it is either or... More than 60 degrees or the tafb. most crossings will be more than 60. So that would qualify as needing the required rest once back at base. Maybe I am reading it wrong....
Read it this way and see if it makes more sense....During a crossing that requires a crewmember to be away for 168 hours you must get 56 hours off at base. I am pretty sure the OR applies to a trip like JFK-AMS-DEL and back. You do a trip like that and you start to get acclimated to the other side of the world so they want you to acclimate back to home time before starting again. On the other hand, you do a Europe turn and you (or at least I dont) dont really get acclimated to the other time zone since you are not in it long enough.
