You seem to be a little ignorant of the facts.You are right. The safest place for any airplane is on the ground and unions have been responsible for placing more airplanes on the ground and pilots out of work than any other single entity.
Rest has always been prospective in nature and one phone call does not interupt rest. Unions have nothing to do with that.
135 operators sued the FAA after EJA Teamsters FORCED the FAA to enforce prospective rest. http://www.law.emory.edu/1circuit/aug99/99-1888.01a.html Did I mention the FAA won the case?
Still I know of no one that obeys the rule except IBT1108 pilots.
Oh and a phone call does not interrupt rest BUT if you are expected to Answer that phone call -- YOU ARE NOT IN REST!
