A pilot may, subject to Section 12.C.5.b.ii. (below), be scheduled to continue up to FAR duty limits, with the prior approval of the Vice President, Flight Operations, or his designee, if necessary to complete his scheduled or rescheduled fight sequence or return to base, whichever occurs first. Block time limitations as described in Section 12.C.2.c. still apply.
In the event of a trip delay, revision or operational emergency that extends, or would extend, a pilot beyond the operational limitations, a pilot who becomes excessively tired shall notify CRS immediately and then speak to the Duty Officer about his situation.
If you read further, the only two options that the duty officer may approve are rescheduling you to stay within operational limitations or giving you a legal rest. You do not have to go to FAR limits.
