Very basic breakdown of 121 domestic rules,
scheduled 8 hours max, of flight time between rest periods. Min rest of eight hours, may be more depending on flight time.
No more than 30 hours in seven days. 24 hours "free of duty" every seven days.
100 hours max in any calendar month. 1000 hours in a calendar year.
16 hours max duty. Flight and duty times are separate.
The flight times listed are scheduled maximums and may be exceeded under certain conditions.

Most air carriers track their pilots flight and duty times by computer and as was stated, crew scheduling will not even schedule (usually) a pilot for an assignment if it can't be completed within the guidlines of the FAR's. You can't "cheat" on this one because both the company and the crewmember(s) get nailed, and it can be $xpensive !
Y'All be careful out there !
