Regarding duty days...recall that until November, the PWA duty table currently found in Section 12 is still in effect until the implementation of the 5:15 ADG.

I am telling you my idea is a good one, something wide for these long thin routes.
Go 782.

Regarding tow-ins, that counts as flight time as surely as pushback does.

“Block time” means the time beginning when an aircraft first moves for the purpose of
flight or repositioning and ending when the aircraft comes to a stop at the next destination or at the point of departure.
Note the absence of the qualifier of movement "under its own power."
