Have to disagree. We get many 24 hr off periods in the field that don't conform to any calender or duty day. As long as in any given 7 calender day period, you have a 24 hr period released from duty (either at home or on a layover,) you are legal. 1 in 7 has nothing to do with domicile, either. That is 1 in 10. This is my reference.
Subpart S—Flight Time Limitations:
Supplemental Operations
Part 121.503 (c)
(c) Each certificate holder conducting
supplemental operations shall
relieve each pilot from all duty for at
least 24 consecutive hours at least once
during any seven consecutive days.
And the contract references
Section C. 1.
b. 1-in-7
A pilot shall be relieved from all duty for at least 24 consecutive hours at least once during any seven consecutive days.
c. 1-in-10
A pilot assigned exclusively to domestic trips within a period of 240 hours shall be scheduled to be relieved from all duty at his base for at least 24 consecutive hours at least once during that period. A pilot may waive the provisions of this paragraph to prevent a phase-in conflict, by indicating his waiver when he submits his bid. It shall not be a violation of this rule if a pilot would have received the relief from duty required by this paragraph but for a bid line adjustment, reassignment trip, or a volunteer or draft assignment.
