From Bloomberg online this morning (Fri 9/10)
Some "major aviation announcement" from the FAA at 1pm today.
U.S. Airline Pilots Said to Get More Rest Under FAA Overhaul - Bloomberg
Minimum 9 hours rest
Minimum 30 consecutive hours off each 7 days
Maximum 10 hours flying w/ max duty reduced to 13 hours
Be interesting to see if the max flying and duty time limits vary based on length of day, start time, etc. as had been rumored.
With more rest and shorter duty required to go with higher hours permitted in a duty period, this will probably end up being a wash as far as staffing goes.

Its determined by local time at your base. Nothing open for the company to try and manipulate.

You're missing his point. The company dictates my current schedule, as well. It's not like I have a month between trips.
Further, I've seen many rotations with 0610 showtimes that include an all-nighter on day three or four. There's just no way to get your rythm synced up for that.
