On the matter of days off could someone please help to explain something.
So, the OMA states that a crew member shall not be on duty more than 7 consecutive days before a minimum of one day off is assigned.
The OMA also states that a day off is a period from from all duties. It shall consist of 2 local nights,
and will last at least 34 hours.
A definition of a local night is provided as a period of 8 hours falling between 2200 and 0800 local time.
If you arrive back from a trip and set the break at 22:15 - how is it possible for your roster to still show a day off the next day? Does the 15 mins not encroach on the definition of a local night...free of duties? Should the roster not change to a rest day?
My understanding is that one would have to be free from duties for 34 hours from 2200 until 0800 the day after the next.....to get a day off?
Thanks for info
