You are doing an AMAZING job of saying stuff that sounds good...without any sort of backup.
OK, I read both letters. I don't feel like the second one nailed the exact problem that we are dealing with. It dealt mostly with the required rest following the 16hr+ duty day. However, this is my main concern:
Say I fly a normal schedule on day 1, have an overnight at exactly 8 hrs rest, followed by a scheduled 14 hr duty day ending with the deadhead home to start vacation. Things get delayed on duty day 2 and now my deadhead will take me over 16 hrs (17hrs), I don't believe I'm legal to take the deadhead because my compensatory rest must begin 24 hours after the start of the reduced rest. In this case, 25 hrs ago (17 hrs of duty and 8 hrs of rest)
