Our exemption now allows us to work 7 days straight. It basically states that in any 8 consecutive days we require 1 period free from duty, and in any 14 consecutive day we require 2 periods free of duty.
"Period free of duty" being a minimum of 36 hours off which include 2 local nights from 2200-0500 hours.
If I wanted to do some private flying I would have to get it cleared by my company first, however, as I haven't done any private flights for a few years, it doesn't cause any problems.
