Max days in a row working
 

Someone tell me if this is ok, because I think it's bogus. Four day trip that ends on a Saturday. Travel to training on Sunday and start Airbus training Monday for 5 days. 10 days in a row?!?! PBS guy said its "legal"!!

Any 24hr. Break?

Well, technically there is a 24 hour break from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon.

I think FAR 117 requires at least 30 hours of rest to reset you. So if you get back early on Saturday and have 30 off before the DH on Sunday I believe that makes it legal.

PBS once gave me 12 in a row. Flying a red eye getting back to base super early then an evening depart the next day makes it legal. Slap on the pp like that teaches you to stop messin' with them waive commands.

nevermind...

Flightmedic,
Thats a tough stretch....and probably legal. Situations like this are where our JV work rules shine. But hey, your paycheck looks nice, and you can always call in sick....good luck.

117 isn't a factor in this situation, is it? Training isn't a duty that has look back rest requirements. You may have an issue before you can go fly again after training...but the only time off between your flying trip and your training is a contractual issue.

If by "OK", you mean per FAR, then yes it would be. Training events do not have a 24 hour in last 7 days look back. Now if it were reversed, with 5 days of training first followed by a deadhead, and a 4 day trip, you'd have to have a 24 hour duty free period sometime prior to commencing your first trip.

I'd check with union rep to confirm if this is OK per your CBA.

I haven't pulled out the contract but I don't think training travel counts as a duty.

It's OK, the first day is always "Fleet Welcome". That's just like a day off anyway ;-)
