Depends if the DH home exceeds the contractual max duty day length. No FAR limit on the DH since you're not flying. They'll get you home and avoid the hotel plus trip credit if they possibly can. If you're scheduled to DH home and your LHR-DTW runs late enough to miss the DH, and the next one exceeds the contractual max day, you can have them set you up to layover and DH the next day, then deviate, take the next flight and pick up 5 more hours
