(4) 8 hours between required rest periods.
You can't fly more than 60 hours in a two week period. This is why the ACMI companies have a much lower min guarantee because you are working two weeks a month (potential 60 hours) instead of pax companies where you work 4 weeks a month (potential 100 hours).
