The feds require 24 hours off in any 7 consecutive days, but different airlines go about this different ways I am now discovering. I was under the impression that most airlines guarantee one calendar day off every week. But today I discovered that my new airline sticks to the 24 consecutive hours without a limit to working consecutive days. So, which, if either, is the 'norm' in the industry? I'll start with the three airlines I know of, and pilots at others please add. Thanks!
-Tailwinds
Independence: 1 calendar day off every 7
SkyWest: 24 consecutive hours
Eagle: 1 calendar day off, waivable by pilot to 24 consecutive hours for overtime purposes.
