A regular pass normally begins and ends when?

• A. Saturday 0800 to Monday 1700
• B. Friday 0900 to Monday 1700
• C. Friday 1700 to Monday 0800
• D. Thursday 1700 to Friday 0800

Answer: (C)

A regular pass is designed to give a long weekend by starting after the normal Friday duty day ends and ending before the Monday duty day begins. Friday 1700 marks the end of the workweek, and Monday 0800 marks the start of the new workweek, so a regular pass runs from Friday evening through Monday morning. That makes Friday 1700 to Monday 0800 the best fit, since it cleanly captures the end of Friday’s duty period and returns you before Monday’s duty starts. The other options either begin earlier or later than the standard end-of-week window or cover time outside the typical weekend pattern, such as starting on Saturday or extending into Monday after the workday has begun, or just covering a single night.
