This is all well and good. However, the dirty little secret in the indistry is commuting. If there is no way to ensure that pilots check into their hotel 10 hours before their duty cycle begins, all this is null and void.People will continue to commute all night long and fly all day and still be considered legal.A good way to go is to include commuting as duty time too----kind of like dead heading.
But, I am cyncial enough to admit that the airlines will never let that happen.
So, while the FAA can keep patting themselves on the back,I will continue to firmly believe that everything changes and yet, nothing changes.
