NPRM shafts commuters
Under the new NPRM rest rules 700am -1259 starts have the longest duty time per number of flight segments. Looking for efficiency I imagine the company will have most lines start at 700am the first day of a trip. So much for commuting in on the same day to work!!!

What? Why? How does that help? If a trip starts at 7 am, the latest it could run under the new rules would be 8pm.
I don't really see any radical changes for domestic part 121 operations. Just a massage of some of the most egregious conditions allowed.

Even under the current rules a trip that starts at 1:00 PM or later probably isn't going to have a duty period of more than 10-11 hours on day 1. So if a company is already building pairings that are front-end commutable under the existing rules, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work under the new rules.
