The (slightly) higher pay at EF compared to the junior pay levels at Heathrow are a bit misleading. Compare your days off (10 at EF?) vs a Heathrow pilot (12-14?). Any Heathrow pilot working 2-4 days overtime would easily beat the take home of an EF skipper.
If you’re working harder for your salary, is it really a better salary?
FACoff with respect to legally possible question it has to fit into the recurrent extended recovery rest regulations which in the old days was called days off. From report at day 1 you can work 168hrs <7 x 24> that includes FDP, Duty, rest at home or hotel etc etc
