Jeeeez did that happen!..impresssive. To clear a point re 4 man vs 3 man, the ULR OP covers any flight that has the "potential" at any time of the year to exceed 14 hrs flt time. Therefor JFK, MEL, SYD.etc on every flight regardless if the flight time is <14hs on your day. But it can also be planned under the normal FTLs as well, see para 1.2 which will allow 3 man operation...but not over a planned flight time of 15hrs (para 1.8). So on the day it might be 4 man under the operational plan or 3 under FTL to a max of 15 planned flight... Cleer as mud, just how they like it.
