I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

OAP, I floated similar plan back in the 70s, I would callbit the strip system. As an example applied to a constituted crew: each activity would occupy a strip of time.

Take a planned flight 0900-1400 Monday. The strip might involve preplanning day of 3 hours, then a continuous strip of 8 hours rest, 3 hours preflight, 5 hours flight, one hour post flight and 8 hours rest - 28 hours in total. For simplicity I have omitted meals and pers admin. No strip could overlap.

As we know, all sorts of 'distractions' could be slipped into that strip.
