Well, Subpart Q is of course not a great thing, but at least its a common ground in europe, at the moment we can only dream about conditions like pilots flying according to CAA regulations do. Over here in germany it is allowed and commonly done to fly up to 13:59 planned duty time and to work more than 140 hours in a month during the summer. Most known to use that as target rather than the maximum for its pilots is of course Air Berlin. With discretion you can go up to 16 and in exceptional circumstances up to 20 hours.
