I must break this interpretation often as the manager (and captain) of a one aircraft flight dept.
I can't schedule maintenance, crew training, coordinate with the owner, talk to the FAA or any of that during a rest period? I understand the discussion here is more for line pilots but there are no gray areas right? So next time I'm in a dayroom getting my 10 hours (probably watching TV) I won't answer the phone when our POI calls and wants to discuss the GOM revision we submitted.
Are you guys sucking oxygen above FL350 too? Try that on a 5 hour flight. Regs are regs.
Fly safe.
