FDX - MD-11 Disputed pairings JUN15
If you're stupid enough to pick these up, you deserve every plague that besets you.
MEM-OAK, 20:47 or 21:22 layover (the worst -- too long to sleep once, too short to sleep twice) then OAK-RNO, RNO-MEM -- 7:19 Duty IF Reno can turn you in 1:27 -- don't hold your breath.
Trip 416 06JUN
Trip 416 13JUN
Trip 438 20JUN
Trip 416 27JUN
Let 'em rot in Open Time, brothers.

No, for 2 reasons. First, and most important, the PSIT disputed it, so I won't be good with it.
Second, it would exceed 8 block hours in 24 clock hours, so the FAA would frown on it.
It's disputed, what other explanation is required?

I guess I don't understand your beef. As currently written, the pairing has no 8-in-24 issue. You asked, "What if ...?" If the layover were to be shortened to observe normal circadian sleep patterns, there would be an 8-in-24 issue.
Both problems could be resolved by LENGTHENING the layover to observe normal circadian sleep patterns.

The layover could be as short as 10 hours and still be legal for 8 in 24 purposes. You seem to be up on the FARs as you post them frequently. I'm not saying it's a good trip I was just wondering why you were complaining about a long layover and implying a shorter layover would be better so you could just sleep once.

Speaking in generalities, the concept you're referring to (preferring a shorter layover to a longer one) is very valid in certain circumstances.

Trip 416 has a 20:47 layover and 33:47 TAFB. Shorten the layover to 10:00, and the TAFB becomes 23:00.
Please show me the math where you can fit 8:33 block hours in there legally.
