Keep in mind train operators are getting a mandatory 12 hours now.
Keep the law of unintended consequences in mind. Bottom line is that airline flight schedules won't change, but your personal schedule and lifestyle may. Somethings gonna give and it won't be THE MAN, it'll be you. Be prepared for more stand up layovers andmonthly schedules with shorter days but lots more of them.
I'm not against change at all and recognize we need a bunch, but due respect must be paid to the law of unintended consequences
