I worked for a man many years ago who said it takes three
things to get anything done, Time, desire and money, any two
are easy to get. He also said you can do anything you want
as long as you don't talk about it, or you talk about
anything you want as long as you don't do it.

Good luck with your schedule. BTW, typo alert, FAR duty day
is 14 hours, actually 10 consecutive hours of duty rest are
required. When we scheduled a charter, we would always ask
our passengers what their expected schedule was, if they
came anywhere close to the limit, we explained before
take-off about the options, If my day started at 5 AM for a
6 AM take-off, my day was done at 7 PM and we'd have to stay
over-night. But if I left the airport and checked into a
motel and got 10 hours rest away from the airport, my day
would be extended if the rest was ten hours. Often they
didn't know their schedule or would not worry about it,
they'd get drunk and be watch a ball game and then be angry
when they showed up at the airport when I had been on-duty
for 13 hours and there was a 2 hour flight to get home.
