Hi!

Here some stuff I know about, all allowed by the FAA:

240 consecutive hours of reserve, then called for a trip.

25 hour duty day (2 crew)

Flew a very long trip, then flew Part 91 (non-commercial aviation) from Yellowknife, NW Territories to El Paso, TX. Part 91 allowed because no passengers/frieght on board so "empty leg."

Lookback to last week, and pick a day you were on reserve the whole day, and call it a day "off" so you get your 1 in 7 days off. Approved by local FAA airline representative.

LOTS of this crap going on, all with the sanction of the FAA. NOT very nice!
