Maybe the company is not complying with this, but I think that the language is now in the PWA, unless I am missing something.
Block Hour Limit is the limit that keeps us from going over the FAR block hour limit on an annual basis. Basically we can't fly a ton Jan-Nov then get December off because of the FAR annual block hour limit. I used to do that at a regional and it worked great.....can't do that at Delta due to this limit.
