10hr 15min is 10.25 hours.

From what I can remember, CAP 371 does not allow for the distance a crewmember lives away from his base of operations, it is, however, incumbent upon that crewmember to report for duty sufficiently rested to be able to carry out his/her duty.
Like you, I cannot understand how someone who lives as far away as you use in your example can be sufficiently rested to do so. The regulations provide for the case where the airline hotacs a crew further away from the airport then x hours (sorry guys/gals can't remember off the top what it is), so surely it would be logical for them to place similar restrictions on the individual.
Having said that it would be interesting to see what effect the human rights bill would have on that!
