HOWEVER, This is a huge concept that is apparently very difficult for many folks to understand: The FAA duty rules are there ONLY to prevent you from flying 121 airplanes while fatigued. They are NOT there to ensure that the company lets you get enough beauty rest. For this reason the FAA rules ONLY apply if you are doing 121 flying IN THE FUTURE. If you are done with 121 flying, the company can legally deadhead you, put on reserve, send you to training, make you fly a 91 repo leg, make you mop the bathroom floor, etc.

If for example you finished flying on Thurs. night at 2300, went to a hotel for 7 hours, came back to deadhead home, that would be legal...you finished your 121 flying on Thursday.
