For ANY international duty period, they can launch you at the end of your RP to go well over 4 hours past the end of your reserve period. Had it happen to me. Yes, it's legal. If you read 121 supplemental regs, there is no published duty limit for international operations, so therefore no 16 hour day. Contract reads that way too. Not the end of the world if it's a trip with a RFO, painful if it's part of a 2 man crew. For deadhead only within the U.S., contract says it's legal, and I guess since you're not flying an airplane, the FAA doesn't care. Makes sense, it's not like deadheading is really work.
