Yep. ALPA put out incredibly bad advice on this critical FAR issue. In no way possible is 8 hours behind the door the same as 8 hours uninterrupted sleep opportunity. That was an incredibly irresponsible and false interpretation and they need to retract it immediately.
The FAR's state 10 rest with 8 uninterrupted sleep opportunity. 8 behind the door is not sufficient for that legal requirement under any possible context. More is always required by law.
