Although your question is clearly rhetorical..
The chief of the regulator is the owner of the airlines. You know it will not change so don't come.
Max 2 (u)lr flight (4 legs) a month and lets say 1 month away on holiday if you are lucky. So 11 x 4 x 6 = 264 extra hours. Total max 1164 hrs under 'normal' circumstances.
Not taking into account any corona (longhaul) turnarounds..
