Well that's my point though. If by chance our max duty day was changed to 12 hours or if our min rest actually went to 10 hours, there is no way that the lines would be built the same way they are now. That 28 hour 4 day that everyone loves right now would more than likely become a 22-24 hour line. Take 4-6 hours away from each of 3 trips and now the pilot doesn't meet guarantee. Now you are picking up another trip on what used to be your days off to make up the difference in hours.
