20 hours and sometimes more! What is the definition of rest? I don't think that you will find one other than free of duty. Working in the office doesn't count as duty. In fairness, I don't want the FAA to specify just what I can do before a flight, i.e. must I be lying down for 8 hours of my last off day, but by the same token the company has taken advantadge of these people and it has become out of hand. Not so bad lately as they have been flying so much that they haven't been able to do the office work. Which raises another question. If you can afford to have so many guys flying full time under th eguise as managers, do you really need them to staff the office at all? Probably not.
