Before, we had unlimited amounts of actual block, so long as we were scheduled within 8 hours. Now, it's a hard limit of 9. Before, we had an actual max duty day of 16, now it's a scheduling limit of up to 14, extendable to 16 once between 30-hour rest periods and only with the Captain's concurrence. Before we had layovers as low as 8 hours, not they're not lower than 10.
