If anyone has insight to this please let me know because I am used to 121 regs and those are way different that 135.... 135, NONSCHEDULED” By the way....
Duty time has to be proactively designated. You are told when you are on and off duty. Once you are off duty you are legally free from all company activities. Duty times cannot be changed after the fact. It’s actually no different than 121, except 135 crews tend to sit around on duty without flying more. Duty is duty, rest is rest; no matter if you work for 121 or 135, scheduled or unscheduled.
