I KNOW for a fact, that if I get saddled with one of those 2 hour legs, then "minimum rest" or whatever they determine "safe" being something less than about 6 hours behind the door... I will not be able to function. Especially when you throw in IROPS... (And I guess protection might mean a enough rest to bring you up to merely exhausted rather than fatigued) If there is some protection to allow us to opt out of this altogether, then have at it. Of course that is another thing that can be taken away in a future negotiation, which gives me pause to approve this insanity.. but that is another discussion I think. I prefer not to let the camel anywhere near the tent on this one.....
