THERE IS NO 16 HOUR DUTY DAY PER THE FAA! Now most contracts limit scheduled duty days to 14 hours and ACTUAL duty days to 16 hours or less. As I said long time before, you only need to look back from the end of your last 121 flight segment and find at a min 8 hours. Now, after that, if you fly again you have to have your comp. rest that starts from the end of the reduced rest period.
But you can always deadhead, or do a part 91 ferry flight out side of this imaginary 16 hours.
