People ...

Minimum rest dictates a minimum of 10 or 11 hours in a hotel of which a minimum of 8 hours should be horizontal rest ... one could be in a hotel for a week or more but did one achieve 8 hours horizontal before reporting for duty?
- Sure; that may be true at the moment - but -
- Is (potentially) 4:30hrs asleep (as per my previous post) before a flying duty a reasonable or acceptable amount of rest to be given before a flying duty?

Note: this is not for a proposed split-duty, but for min. rest downroute.

We all know what started out as limits ends up being treated as targets by scheduling.
