He said dispatch also had a 5 minute taxi in on flight plan and a 10 minute taxi out. Everything assumed best case scenario. This pilot said flight panned out exactly as he expected and they went over FAR's by :35.

For my flight, my LATT was inaccurate. It used our planned flight time (which going to ATL is always short unless it is the middle of the night and you are landing in the right direction VMC) + 10 minutes taxi in. We went way over. Fortunately, we weren't that close to our LATT. It was a bad time though. I am extremely disappointed with how our company is handling the new FAR's. I have a feeling violations are coming our way.

Having said that, there are some within DALPA that are misinterpreting the 8 hour uninterrupted sleep opportunity in FAR 117 to be identical to the "8 hours behind the door" provision of our pilot contract.

I know that I'm dense so please forgive me. I've followed this and still can't wrap my head around how 8 behind the door is not 8 hours of sleep opportunity. Please explain this to me.

Because the minute I close the door there is now way to get settled in to a bed in "zero" seconds and certainly no way to shower, get dressed in "zero" seconds in the morning.
