Narrative:
Scheduled to fly trip when would exceed 100 hours in 30 days. When questioned, company said was ok to do an international trip provided a relief pilot (rfo) was on board for each leg. Far's appear vague on this issue. When questioned further, was directed to take the trip -- received written directives to take trip from chief pilot, vp, etc. This issue needs clear ruling!
