Well I work for a large mgmt. company who if you can believe it does NOT have a hard day policy. Thats right they do NOTHING to put some control on the owner/client from working us into the ground. Oh yeah, while we don't do charter per se, we operate all flights under 135. Nothing in the regs about when you get those 13days/qtr, just that you get 'em. Now I'm not going to say we don't get time off but we have zero control over it. Two vacations requested three months in advance have been denied this year, and as of 1 Sep I will have worked (been away from home) 36 out of the last 40 days. Absolute BS, but until a better paying gig comes along I'm stuck.
