Fair enough... to a point. Let's compare it to the short call reserve call out. Do you reeeeeeeeeally want that in black and white too? I certainly don't. If you need rest, take it.... make it happen. If it also takes you an hour to get thru, then starts the clock. I just see little problem here. I know it is more of a deal on the Mad Dog than on the 757, because of multiple legs, but the point is that if you cannot get adequate rest per a schedule then it is incumbent upon you to do so.
But for the sake of discussion... and this will certainly be an issue on the next contract... how much time should we contractually have "behind the door" to ensure 8 uninterrupted hours of sleep opportunity?
