That depends on the details. I'd want protections for reserves like nothing once you get back until 10AM the next day. I'd like to see them in hard lines with hotel in domicile. And of course better min ground and max block limits than we had in the TA. The reserve issue is a red herring anyway, as very few would ever go to reserves.
In any case, if we can't do them safely, then we need to ban any other off circadian flying that could result in the same effect. Which is probably a very significant portion of the flying we already do every day, much of it much harder on the body clock than a reasonable SDP would be.
