At Delta we actually added relief pilots on some prior two man routes as a result of the very short duty day allowed with two man ops under 117. Again something I would not worry to much about.
The 5:15 daily minimum is however turning out to be a really good thing especially when they are building rotations for irregular ops. It's the one issue that I would push hard to get!
