What I couldn't get out was if we would require more staffing under the new rules.
That's because the new FT/DT rules are manure.
ALPA has been rather silent on the issue, but CAPA has put together a really good 5 page PDF that you should see:
Flight Time/Duty Time (FT/DT) CAPA Talking Points | Coalition of Airline Pilots Associations
I know 5 pages is a lot, but this will most likely be the only time the rest rules are addressed for the next 50 years.
