How can you be on for nine consecutive days as a domestic pilot? That's not a legal schedule because there's no 24 hour break from duty in there? I'm a little confused at how they can let PBS build schedules that violate the FAR's.
Oh this again... anyway.
You can have a 24 hour break on a layover, or get in at 4pm on day 6 and leave at 7pm on day 7. Worked both days, but you had a 24 hour break so it's legal.
Works for reserve too. For reserves, if required, scheduling will give you a 24 hour break.
