Was on SC starting at 0900. Got a trip with an 1830 sign-in. A maintenance delay resulted in the flight finally going out at 2048 (Not that it mattered, but I had been at the airport since 0745 that morning due to all the other flights for the day being over-booked).

The rotation showed an ACTUAL ON DUTY of 5:59 and a MAX DUTY of 10:15 (I ended up with a duty day of 14:59 that day). I was concerned if there was anything other than 16 hrs (15:30 before push, I believe) to be concerned with so I called scheduling and they said no flags were showing up and I was good to do the trip. I guess I was, but this post made me think of it again. Does the MAX DUTY DAY (even going past 2 hrs) not apply to Reserves?
Nope, I did 15:30 last week. Reserves can go to 16 and there is no going past 2 hrs point. It makes the operation better, but not for a reserve. A line holder gets the 2 hrs rule.
