There are several misconceptions and wrong applications of the FARs both in this post and in these forums.

I would suggest going to the ALPA website and downloading “Guide to Flight Time Limitations and Rest Requirements (ALPA_flight_duty_time.pdf)” and educating yourself.

The FARs state “the company will not schedule and the pilot will not accept” assignments outside of the regulations. (My paraphrase)

It is a joint responsibility but, I think the company will weather the punishment better than the individual should a breach occur. (Part of the deeper pockets theorem)

Think, research, think again, write, spell check, think some more, post…
