Having looked at the FTL proposal, the 7.5 hour rest is a short haul thing. When you go to that level of rest, you have to meet a list of requirements which basically discounts a long haul flight.
However, it is still an atrocious way of achieving rest on shorthaul. For me it could mean a 6 sector two day trip, with my body probably achieving a sub 5 hour sleep period. I WILL be tired on day 2 and safety WILL be compromised.
BG, by the way, I really respect the way that you write on here and stand for your beliefs...
