117 says you must have an 8 hour sleep opportunity on any layover. So, if there are rowdy kids in the hallway or the fire alarm goes off in a hotel while you're asleep and they wake you, those are legitimate excuses to call CS and restart your 8 hours.

If all you do on your next duty period is DH, that can be preceded by less than 10 hours of scheduled rest.

I don't think we have stricter contract language.
Thanks guys, CS was trying to give us less and the captain seemed happy with the situation. I had already told him 10 was the minimum but wanted to double check to make sure I wasn't talking out my butt.
