Sure, so you are telling me I was imagining it when I flew more than the 900 hours in a year?
Halas.
ICAO says the following:
The total flight time of the sectors on which an individual crew member is assigned as an operating crew member shall not exceed: 100 hours of flight time in any 28 consecutive days. 900 hours of flight time in any calendar year; 1,000 hours of flight time in any 12 consecutive calendar months.
Now are you an operating crew member when you are not behind the wheel? No. So strictly it is not illegal. They know their stuff and again no union to object against this "creative" solution to increase efficiency.
