I'm being practical. Put it this way, it is up to us to plan our lives so that we get enough sleep within the constraints of our rosters.
In those circumstances FTLs are unlikely to be relevant because my previous day's flying will have been an early shift.
You are operating outside the protection afforded by FTLs, a legal document in fact. A rest period MUST be uninterrupted. What do you do if you are on minimum rest? Still answer the phone an hour early?
It would be more practical to live closer to the airport.
How do you calculate your maximum FDP?
