Same crew, 2 sectors. Max allowable FDP is 17hrs 15mins (18hrs-45mins for the extra sector). Add 2hrs commander's discretion. All up that's 19hrs 15mis max FDP.

If the flight was 2:43 hours late, the max FDP of 19.15 hrs was flown well beyond! What will the CAD do about this? Is discretion being used a lot on the hkg-jfk-hkg route when hiccups occur?

Curious
Let's see... your first post and you try to tattle on a fellow pilot. Very nice touch, indeed.
