Carriers will be required to provide their crew with a 10-hour rest opportunity prior to commencing a duty period that includes flying. While the 10-rest period may include the amount of time it takes to get to or from a flightcrew member’s house or hotel room, the actual amount of time required for a sleep opportunity may not be reduced below 8 hours. In addition, the length of continuous time off during a 7-day period has been extended from 24 hours under the existing rules to 30 hours.

Oh it is, and now with this out, they are free to offer something early.

I have not read all of it. These are layered rules so you have to read all of it and digest it.
I do believe that it is probably cost neutral for the DAL. The money that they are quoting is probably for the supplemental carriers.
