"hey..lookie here..reg 121.471, oh yea
hahaha yea look how awful their duty requirements are...hahahaha look at it (points out reduced rest regulation to other FAA executives in board room)..WOW look at this one....'a rest required under paragraph (b)(1) of this section may be scheduled for or reduced to a minimum of 8 hours if the flight crewmember is given a rest period of at least 10 hours that must begin no later than 24 hours after the commencement of the reduced rest period'...WOOO whoever wrote this one was a real comedian." (entire room erupts in jolly laughter).
Maybe we'll get lucky, and they'll save us the aggravation and just look at the FAR/FC upside down.
