Thanks for the feedback guys. For the Type A Tour Pilot it seems he can work 28 days straight but then must have 21 days off, so 21 'off' out of a total of 49. Whereas a regular crew schedule requires 1 day 'off' in 7 = 7 in 49. So the Type A Tour pilot gets more days 'off', but he is more productive during his days 'on'. Annual limit is the same, but allowed up to 120hrs in the 28 'on' days (v's 100 per 30) and 35 hrs in 7 days (v's 30 in 7). Gets interesting when trying to figure out the pro's and con's of which type of schedule works best for a person over say a 12 month period. The min 21 days 'off' sounds nice, but I wonder how one feels after working 28 days straight ? Hmmm. All hypothetical at the moment but an interesting scenario.
