However, make no mistake that if you work at IFL you will be expected to consistently operate contrary to the FARs (i.e. break the law), particularly, although not exclusively, with respect to rest rules. If you refuse (i.e. attempt to comply with the FARs with regards to rest rules) you will be fired. Period.
In the end, it's up to you.
I'm sorry to hear that , we were by the book during my tenure even leaving freight behind rather than going over gross ( DC-3), rest rules were black and white for 135, but 125 which allowed 16 hours flight/duty and only 8 hours rest was a license to fatigue, I would routinely take 12 hours off after long Convair night/ days , hard day's nights with little or no blow back, there must have been a sea change somewhere along the way, we used to pride ourselves in being regs compliant, oh well.
