Can you explain your statement? This requires shorter duty days and longer rest periods. The only change where you can do more is if you report in the morning between 0700 and 1259 you can fly up to 9 block hours. That has no real impact on jobs.
The one big change is that it will force many pilots to fly more days per month to get their hours in. This is always a downside of better work and rest rules.
