Safe Skies (fall 2007) 8 in 24...
FedEx just stopped and gave me my Safe Skies for Fall 2007. Page 2 starts a big explanation on 8 in 24 "from the Flight Duty Officers" interpretation of FAR 121.505.
If you have an "Air Turn Back" or a (non-cargo) diversion to another airport. Crew scheduling can revise your trip add another flight segment and you can knowingly takeoff and fly over 8 hr in 24.
While the article does mention safety...the last sentence is, "This is intended to help you understand the legal issues in flight and duty times which, in turn, contribute to a more reliable operation for our customers."
In the last 15 years I have never heard of such interpretation...I hope the Union Leadership steps forward again...and gives us their interpretation.
