That's what they say, but I have a bad feeling about it. The "Business Necessity" verbiage change. Why? When will it NOT be a Business Necessity for the company to save the $ of a DH ticket and JS you home? What's the penalty if they do? Money? Nope. A letter to the SIG. Wow. Big deal.
The "Fly Window" is right smack dab in about 95% of the layover to DH window now. 12 to 36 hours after you finish the trip. The procedures apply for any extra trip and or REVISION. How often does that happen? And last, it says that once they take a first, and only look at a commercial DH, they don't have to look again. They can solely look to JS you home (8.A.3.e.i.d).
They even have provisions for Second Officers! That one just made me laugh.
