What if you live in SEA,OAK,SJC,SFO? What if you live in MEM and fly STN,VCP,etc. lines, your 8n24 rest is always on your own time. How many more subjective qualifiers can we add. All that said, HARD PARAMETERS! So that DPs can be reserved for safety and fatigue design pairings (which normally they are), not just inconvenient ones.
