I guess we weren't alone in noticing the short rest period. I get what Sunwing did, but it's scheduling like this that ruins people's vacations. Lets say the flight is delayed an hour, for whatever reason. Suddenly this guy will be over his hours, and the airline has to call in another pilot, delaying things further, then the passengers miss their connection.
