Probably the two most likely limits encountered by FedEx guys. I blocked out 17 minutes late and flew an extra 20 minutes on the first leg to NRT on a 12-day trip which was all it took to throw my optimized trip out of 32 in 7 limits requiring a major revision (and that was without any outside commercial flying).
Among others, there's also:
100 hours in a calendar month
1000 in 12 calendar months
Makes sense in some cases, I guess I just don’t understand the blanket policy. I’m not sure I’ve ever hit half of any of those marks - but as is often mentioned, it can be like being at a completely different airline here, depending on equipment.
I could see the 32 in 7 for some of the 777 trips for sure. Fair enough.
