My example assumed 7 duty periods in 7 days - and with a couple of short days in there, it's very possible. I'm junior in the MSP 88 and I have 4 - 4 day trips next month. Each trip has a 1 leg day. Of those 1 leg days, the longest duty period is 4:51. The way things are going, if it's possible, it will probably become the norm
Under the old rules, a domestic pilot couldn't work more than 6 days in a row without a long layover in there somewhere because of the 24 off in 7 calendar days. With the new rules, it's possible to work as much 7 days without a long break because of the rolling 168. Just something people will need to take into account when bidding.
