You are correct in what you say. But if rules are applied then it should be equal.
I'll be having words with the auto pilot in the morning to check. No doubt it will have been up most of the night with one of the CVR's and had too much electrical input. Probably over the limit for this but not regulated yet.
Ah, another point, what about the computer programmers who get pissed and miss something. Always remember the computer is only as good as the person who programs it. If a pilot is above the new limit then he will lose his career, if a programmer is above the limit and there is an accident then they will not. I know the systems are checked but "one day".
