I haven't the slightest clue and the truth is neither do you nor does anyone else. Any survey of work groups will find plenty of voices pro and con.

I'd also be willing to bet that the research data used to support implementation of part 117 did not include the kind of operations we do. (Prove it to me).

regulations are tricky things and we cannot solve for the mechanisms that management will employ to mitigate any negative effects on the bottom line.
I'm not advocating for any particular position but the devil you know MAY prove to be easier to deal with.
