Am I legal to fly a four man crew 12+hr block
 
I flew a 3 man crew,
then a 4 man crew,
then four 2man crews at 20 + hours,
then a 3 man crew again.

I would belive that 121.525 a and c would apply. this refers to 121.521 (a) which limits me to a 12hr scheduled flight time in 24hours. My scheduled trip is over 12 hours block in 24. How can this be legal if I fall under 121.521 (A)!!! Which limit me to 12hrs

My flights
3 man
4 man
2 man x four flights totalling more than 20 hours
3 man

Now I am scheduled to fly a 4 man flight that blocks MORE than 12 hours!!. 121.525 a and c refer to 121.521 a which limits flight time to 12 hours.

What am I missing??

Please reply soon, I need help this.

121.525 a refers to Flight Deck Duty (which is different than Scheduled Flight Time) under Supplemental Operations for FEs and Navs, are you an FE?

I think you're legal. You will be subject to a limit of 100 block hours in 30 days based on your schedule so far. Once you mix 2-man operations AND augmented crew ops, you are limited to 100 hours for 30 consecutive days.

I am legal according to the ALPA lawyers, but I still don't see why.

According to my issue, I would think I would be governed by 121.525 (a, and c). which refers to 121.521 (a) that would make me limited to 12 aloft.

"Not so" says the attorneys,
According to their interpretation, I am governed by 121.525 (a-b). Which refers to 121.503, and 121.509. 509 applies.

Thanks for the backup, I think I will go try to find the rest of my hair I have pulled out trying to figure this out.

You cannot figure out most of these things just by reading the regs, you need to look at the legal interps and case law. The lawyers have done that.
