Well I hate to be difficult about this, but let's say that you are completely off, not on call, not on duty, and do not have to report for duty until 0600. You are just plain OFF, you are technically at rest. But you aren't completely free from restraint during your rest time. For 8 hrs prior to starting you duty day at 0600 you can't drink alcohol. That's a restraint. Childish argument I know. But you are right, it's seems pretty cut and dry. But my point is that a lot of operations have on call pilots and from the sounds of it it's illegal. Only way I see this working is if we hire a couple more guys and go to 8hr shifts, but that won't happen. It looks if we are going to be On Duty the whole time then we have to be at the airport for 12 straight hours. That's the point now, I really don't see that logic. OnCall/OnDuty at home or OnDuty at airport. It's still 12hours. We'll just have to wait and see why he wants it that way. PW305 how do you guys work it? Maybe we can adopt the same system? Thanks for the info fellas.
