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.
I'm not knocking you guys personally, but WHY would anyone put up with such nonsense when the airlines are hiring like gangbusters??
This is the best pilots market we've had in DECADES! WHY tolerate this?
Sure, maybe it'd be hard to get on with one of the "big 3" immediatly, but worse case, certainly one of the LCC's like Spirit or even JB would scoop you up in a heartbeat I'd imagine
