Would this make 80 an ungrateful deadhead?

While I'm at it, I was on SC at 0430- this trip ends at 2130 tonight. That's way over 16 hours, but the last leg is a dhd... how is this legal? Scheduling said it is since the last leg is a dhd, but that doesn't sound quite right...
I know at my previous company it would not have been...

I'm kind of teasing.
What I believe is it right. One time I timed out and they pulled me out of the cockpit (not physically) and found an FO walking off another airplane and put him in my place and put me in the back and I deadheaded to DTW. So I went beyond 16 hours.
I'll go double check the PWA, unless Bill Lumberg wants to look for you.

I just said approach briefing complete, hold my beer, brace for impact because I could never remember what the half thing stood for.

Don't worry. Research was done. It was discovered very few pilots actually come close to ALV. Oh yeah, the staffing formula has not changed. This will not require less pilots. You are an exception. Just over a year from now, you will be able to sit 7 short calls. No big deal though. Research was done on that too. Very few pilots actually sit 6 short calls in a month.
There: that should make him feel better.

True, but in international categories those 24 hr periods will be 14 and pilots will sit most if not all of the seven.
In the last three months I have had two that went to six SC's. This month I sat six by the 15th. Its all legal, but we should be, at a min, getting suit up pay for every SC sat. It now goes against RAW, but there is no true credit for it.

Also, "visual... backed up by the CAT III."
Those are my favorites.
Now before someone blowed up. I've memorized 7 things in ATL: 27L tower, 27R tower, ramps 1, 2, 3, maintenance and passenger service. I still have to look everything else up. Somewhat intentional.
btw, damn wish I had thought of this:

Phone rings...
Me: "Hello?" (I'm a little tired - been sleeping late in the day after an early morning turn)
Scheduling: "Hi, Elvis, this is Pat in scheduling."
Me: "Howdy."
Scheduling: "Elvis, I see you acknowledged your 6th short call tomorrow morning at 5:30 AM, but it's coming up as illegal."
Me: "Illegal?" (as I'm yawning inadvertently)
Scheduling: "Yes, so we're just gonna switch that to 10 AM, alright?"
Me: "OK"
Scheduling: "I'll show you acknowledged!"
