Yup... every other day for the last three months. No wait.. it was 11.5 hrs airborne, 16 hr duty day. With a two-pilot flight crew. I've been averaging about 135 hrs per month. How did I do this? I'm in the military.
Now, having said that, I don't
want to continue doing it once I start up with the airlines (soon, hopefully--as in next spring). But as for whether it
can be done (safely), it definitely can.
However, Doug is right about one thing--you're definitely not at the absolute top of your game at the end of days like this.
