Otherwise, we would all need to check in to a company dorm ten hours prior to show for enforced rest (cost of said dorm would be payroll deducted of course).
Now explain jumpseating. As an ACM, you by definition aren’t in rest.
Then explain those who drive over 2 hours to base. Definately didn’t get opportunity for 8 in 10.
Somebody non-reving to work could argue they slept on the plane, but I’m not sure they could argue an uninterrupted 8 hour sleep opportunity
The refs are clear, and have no exceptions for day one. We know how everybody is doing the nod and wink, but when it hits the fan, the lawyers will go by what the reg says.
