The new 10 hour hard minimum layover is reasonable. The rules under part 121 were not.
Another opinion.
My opinion (worth exactly what you're paying to read it): A pilot who prefers less than 12 hours' rest may
think he values his health, or may not care. I think that getting 9 hours of sleep and a decent breakfast (ie: 12-hrs minimum) is a bare minimum to maintain a semblance of health in this very unhealthy profession. Smokers may value their health, too. It doesn't mean they have a clue.
