I have a 0XXX trip built by CS. The last day is a DHD only day. I was looking to see if there was an earlier flight and there are actually 2 earlier DLs (mainline and RJ). If I take the next earlier flight it still provides over 10h of rest.

Because the rotation as built doesn't get me back as soon as possible is it an illegal rotation? Or am I missing something that could possibly make it a legal rotation?
It's not just 10 hours needed, you need to get the PWA rest depending on your previous duty day - sometimes that's more than 10 hours. (Ie, off a long international)
