So,
My week is built with 4 nights of hub turns.
DH-ABC Monday morning and the operate ABC-MEM-ABC all week with a backend DH on Friday.

Day one I’m delayed for weather, maintenance, deicing, whatever. What happens to my week now? Into SUB for that last day that I’m no longer legal for? Does FedEx delay my departure an hour or two so I can have the required rest opportunity in a sleep room?

Or does FedEx just avoid that complication by limiting the schedule to 3 days on, or 2 days on?

Most of our lines, trips meet 117. But not all. Think every bidpack has some tour America hodgepodge of trips strung together in 2 or 3 day increments. Would truly suck as a commuter if that’s how a FedEx solves the greater complexity, greater time off duration in a week.
