for the 777 sometimes its more than 5 (this month i got six) but yes you dont fly with minimum rest.You get 2 D.O in a row, sometimes 3,sometimes 36h .With the full implementation (in block hours per 28 days) of 117 from September they should be realy carefull.No more waivers either from the management or from GACA.An average line on the 777 has 11-13 days off
