But I found out that our contract states that I must have 10 hours rest between pairings and or show times. I am not allowed to enhance my schedule. In my opinion the company could have easily made that a single pairing but for some reason don’t. I wish the language in the contract would have allowed us to pickup that extra time while forbidding the company from assigning it. Like the 29 in 7 company restriction where we can do 30 in 7. Maybe we can get that in the PBS LOA?
They say they can't because it's 2 check instead in one day.
In reality, they should just be able to adjust your pairing and add it, So it's not 2 check-ins. It's 100% legal per FARs
