And........although the FAA says that we can go to 16 hours, our contract says that we can fly only two above our max scheduled duty day.

Soooo, if our max duty day is, let's say,....7 hours......are we then able to only go two hours above that, to 9 hours and go to the hotel?

Inquiring minds want to know....... recently during IROPS, crew tracking assumed that we were going to work up to the 16 hour duty day,...we pulled the plug at 14,.........
