Mmmhhh, Newfieboy's beer must have come in early this time.

Anyway, under Part.135, non scheduled operations, flight time is restricted to 8 hrs SP and 10 hrs MP in the last 24, if those are busted it becomes a complex affair to add mandatory rest time to the 10 hours already programmed.
If flying a heavy production job offshore GoM, it's not uncommon to top those 8 hours before the end of the day, requiring more than one pilot to complete the operation.
MP 10 flight hours days happen, not consistently, but depending on the contract to which the pilot is assigned they can be three or four times in a two weeks rotation.
