Government is no longer looking out for the citizens, government it's looking out for itself. It's nothing but a bunch of bureaucrats justifying their jobs, and waiting to retire so they can enjoy that ridiculous pension. Vote Libertarian. Okay, I'm done...

Your old way and new way is a different situation. Your old way is a flight leaving at 2pm and home by 10pm. This would either be thrown in open time and picked up by someone on their days off, or it would be assigned to a reserve (short or long, depending on their status and when it's assigned). Your new way of a 10pm flight is irrelevant to the flight in question because it departs at 2pm. I highly doubt Spirit will delay that flight 10 hrs because you need your 10 hrs rest. They will find a reserve to do it or they will throw it in open time and let someone pick it up.
