Sounds like your doing 24hr Standby Duties ? AOC operation ?
If they expect you to go when you are called, then it most definitely IS duty time, asleep or not.
Yea yea.... So do all operators doing 20/10, 2 on/2 off, month on/month off and all other combinations of scheduling....
Nothing new here and it's not only seen with small prop operators... Without mentioning names of operators, I think its safe to say all the big bizjet operators do this.
