No that isn't legal. I had that sorta company that did that a few yers ago. Since then, the FAA has made it VERY clear in the regs.
Also with the 14 hours that you dont when it starts or stops? Thats also illegal with the rolling rest. We haven't come across that yet but I have a feeling its coming.
Yes, I feel like a slave.
