Duty is 15:40. So unfortunately the above does not apply. Yet you said you did this LAX to TPE at less than 16hrs?? I thought if it was less than 16 they can do what they want????

If it gets booked in coach I will be calling the DO to see what can be done.....

I'll let you know...

Mine was during the winter, I guess winds made the historical longer and pushed it over 16.
