The 56 hour minimum rest period must encompass three physiological nights’ rest based on home base local time.
Thanks SF. I see the word "AND" in there, for the 168hrs. away from base...

168/24 = 7 days.

That cuts it down to about one trip for us Scambo, the 10 day SIN.

In addition to physical illness, per the FOM pilots will not report for duty within 24 hours of
receiving an immunization, donating blood or blood components, donating bone marrow,
scuba diving (using compressed air or oxygen), or any major medical procedure or surgery.

I'm a chicken with a big yellow stripe on my back when it cones to Aspen. I usually deploy the limo to Rifle over Omaha or Farmington VOR, tell the pax it's 50/50 and plan a taxi IF we land at Aspen. Cross Red Table, in cloud or winds out of limits, and turn for Rifle. I landed there one day and Approach couldn't believe I wasn't, at least, giving Aspen a try. They kept talking about Aspen and FO kept saying Rifle.

Does the Red Cross still not allow you to donate if you've been to Mexico in the past year?

Like my Mom used to say;

There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there are no old, bold pilots!

We get paid by the minute, so I'm never in a hurry to be the first one at the scene of the accident. Holding and diverting pays a whole lot better than disability.

Did that one night. We were the first to JAX and got the only open gate. Ended up with 4 other planes parked on the ramp behind us. We had to wait for them to refuel and taxi out before there was room to push us. Made for a long night.

Well, now under 117, it'll be divert early, be the first one on the crew van.

How does DAL plan to handle international inbounds with a bad hub weather event?
