I personally had to complain at what was considered "minimum rest" legal under FAR 121, My personal interpretation of rest, is
when your body is stretched flat and level inside a bed and does not include the time spent in a crew bus that is late, checking-in at hotel, and taking a quick meal, and getting up, rushing for the crew bus again, to the airport for the next departure. That is where the real problem starts with. In-room time is rest time. Agreed...?

OK for your EU Ops-1. What will be the name next year...? Just demand your present day airlines to give you layovers like 30 or 40 years ago, and you will not have any problems with rest periods.
