The portion of the story that said pilots are limited to 2.7 hours per day is a lie. I refer Freepers to FAR 121 for airlines, FAR 135 for charter and FAR 91 for corporate flight operations. There is no limit on daily flight hours for corporate. There are limits for charter and air carrier.

Almost right. Its FAR part 117 for air carriers.

Yes, duty times are in FAR 117. But they are also in FAR 121.505, 507, 509, 511, 513,515,517, 519, 521, 523, and 525.
