Maybe I am missing something here, but talking to some international drivers they like to do two trips back to back to help out with commutting. How is it legal?


-Day one fly to Europe! Yippee!!!!

7:45 Block

-Day two arrive in Europe!!!!!! Enjoy some wine/beer!!!!

-Day three back to the States. Arrive in the States, go to the commuter hotel!

8:30 Block

-Day four back to Europe!!!!!!!

8:15 Block

-Day five arrive in Europe, enjoy yourself once again.

-Day six, back to the states and home.

8:45 block.

120-in-30 is it. Still have the 1000 in a year limit though.

This month I've got 90 hours between today and the 21st. I don't normally do it that way, it just kind-of worked out that way.

Ahhhhh. What type of reg is there? So you can theoretically do trips the first two weeks and be done for the rest of the month?

Pretty much what I plan on doing sometimes. Get ER done, drink beer and grow stubble on my off days.
 
Hey Kevin, is the TOE a round trip ocean crossing or is it two round trips?

Plus, does the check airman ride along like a CSO back in the day, or is it just a check airman/captain?

Isn't there 24 hours aloft in 72 hour period, or is that just supplemental?

Yes, but any leg blocked for over 12 hours requires 2 full crews on the trip. The closest we have on the B-767ER is Moscow-Atlanta which is blocked at 11:20 (I think)...

Most of our trips have 24 hour layovers so it's not a problem...

If you fly some overtime the 120-in-30 thing will catch you occasionally.

We used to do a lot of 11+50 hour trips, with 12 off in the middle, get back to the states and be timed out, not fun at all...

The 30-in-7 rule is the reason I can't get above 92 hours block this month. I even have a 5 day off stint in the middle of the month, but I'm flying so much before and after that, it would be more than 30 in 7 if I even picked up a MEM-DFW turn!

New decision......I think I might JS to DFW to harass Skymates. :)
