Also, In my August schedule, I am scheduled to work 20 days in a row, then 1 GDO, then work another 8 in a row. Does the contract have anything that permits/prohibits this?
Tell me you're kidding!
The company can't schedule you for more than 13 1/2 hours of duty. You can be forced to go over that should the weather get bad or something up to 14 1/2 hours. Should you agree, then you can go to 15 1/2, but that is entirely up to the pilot for anything over 14 1/2. The company never helps me out, so needless to say I will never go that extra hour unless I desperately need the next day off and it was a scheduled off day for me.
I believe the company has to give you at least 1 day off per 7 day period. Please file an ASAP report if what you say is true. Do it soon too. By filing an ASAP report, the FAA will see that.
Again, please tell me your joking
