Another topic the regs are ambiguous/unclear about is deadheading. You'd think that would have some limitation on it, but people say at the end of your trip you could hypothetically be put on a 100-hour deadhead back to base. Is that right?
Yup, but you have to be given compensatory rest equal to the length of the deadhead, so in this case, 100 hours of rest. That might make the company think twice about sending you around the world 4 times :-)
