I thought everyone this? Maybe I’m misreading this.
this is common knowledge for anyone that’s a commuter.. and usually the military folks are late to the party since they didn’t have fly at a previous 121. But again, “self deviate” so the pilot is doing it on his own and the company can’t claim ownership of the “legal rest” or booking him a DH in the jumpseat.
