CDO's were not buildable until we removed our max duty day limitations in the FAR 117 LOA. Now we literally can fly to FAR limits. The LOA initially included cut-out language allowing CDO's to pay less than 10:30. That language was removed due to line pilot complaints. It was assumed there will not be very many CDO's based on the high pay to block hour ratio.
