As far as the FAA thing goes, it makes no sense since the FAA uses an 8-hour bottle to throttle rule itself. How does softening this restriction make our safety rules more palatable to the FAA??
AS you seem to be replying to me.........
I didn't say or infer that it made any sense and would not as I do not believe that to be so, but rather just reported the motive for changing it as stated by an AMA source charged with government (US gov, not AMA) affairs, so don't throw it back at me.
I suggested to Hossfly who to ask, and refer you to same.
