Saw this thread, thought it was interesting.

Jeez, those are easy days! I fly 121 supplemental cargo. Longest duty period: 30 hours, with 20 hours of flight. Total of 4 crew members. Longest non-stop flight: 17:30 (non-rev) Being up and awake for a 24 hour period is not uncommon. Might get a small cat nap on occasion. On the long runs usually 2.5 to 3 hours in the bunk. Oh, and get this, we can do the 30 hours and get a "91" leg on the end that would require no rest before. Contractually might be a problem, but when did the company ever adhere to the contract!

Fly Safe!

Its hard to refuse to work an extra few hours when we spend 90% of our time not flying. I have been flying for small 91 flight departments for the last 25 years. The owners and managers work incredibly long hours to keep the company profitable.
We (pilots) have the final say so and are never pressured if safety is a concern.

I hope the peeps in the back realizes that flying with a tired pilot is like flying with a drunk pilot.

Man...after reading this thread, its no wonder i ended up on the chit-list at a former employer (for denying a 19 hour single pilot duty day) it seems theres a list of fruitcakes a mile long that would gladly do it
