As I understand it, some carriers have a "different" interpretation of what "7 consecutive days" means. They make a distinction between 7 consecutive days vs. 7-day trailing period.
I.e., they interpret that requirement to only apply if you are scheduled to fly 7 days consecutively (with no break in a week).
Put it a different way, if you are given a full-day breaks within the week (e.g., Mon-Tue-Wed, break, Fri-Sat, break) then they argue that you are not flying for "7 consecutive days" and therefore the 30-hour limit does not apply.
The only limitation then is the Indonesian labor laws which says you can only work for 9 hours a day up to 54 hours a week. In the above scenario, you could fly 5 days (non-consecutively) at 9 hours each flying day = 45 hours.
But I agree that the "right thing to do" for pilots is to challenge this interpretation. Maybe not individually but either through associations or anonymously via the press.
