The critical duty period would have to play in those trips.
Critical period is defined by "showtime" between 0100-0459 Local Base Time.
The holding of the crew for a maybe event is nothing less than a manipulation. The 4 hour sub rules are for trips that are "rescheduled", so they just say the trip is going as scheduled, but expect it to be late. FWIW, I played this game once when they said I was on the hook up to scheduled duty limits. When we couldn't finish the trip inside scheduled limits, I insisted they rebuild the pairing to keep us within duty limits. They suddenly cut us loose. I do think it's important to let our guys on Kirby know the exact details of these situations.
