Any attempt to spin this as bad for a Pilot is ridiculous. So if shorter SCs are bad then I guess we should Lengthen SC? Or is 12 hours the absolute optimum length any any variance up or down is a screw job for us.

Tell the commuter who can now make it home he is really being screwed but he is just too stupid to realize it.

Tell the guy who sits 7 SCs that even though he is on call for 21 less hours he is really working harder.

Guys this is a 25% reduction in SC - it is good news.

Plenty of actual stuff to complain about, how about that middle DH seat or that 47 minute turn between two long flights with no meal.

As a guy who occasionally sits reserve I will suffer through the shortened SCs.
