It's simple, I don't work for companies that expect their flight crews to blatantly violate regulations. Thus, I wouldn't want the job.
...and before you ask, yes. I have walked out of interviews when it was discovered that they expect pilots to be "on call" with only X "hard" days off per month. It's not about getting my certificate revoked or being fired for saying "no". It's about being fatigued, running into a mountain and not going home to my wife after the duty period.

I just did a quick search and can't find it either, but it's out there. Someone with more time will have to do the digging. It's there, though. I've seen it.
BTW - Congrats! A birdie told me you got a new gig and a medical! WOOT!
