I agree with your interpretation of what an 8 hour sleep opportunity is, and I don't really care how anyone else interprets it.
He's been told that exact same thing numerous times. He apparently just wants to blame dALPA for this and all the other ills of the world. Everybody that has weighed in on this has agreed with him that exactly 8 hours behind the door is not practical for meeting the spirit of the law. He will come back around to saying that dALPA reps keep giving him different gouge yet he won't propose a number that would meet that requirement. Good luck trying to convince him.
