Fatbus , so your saying that because GCAA definition of a ULR flight is 16 hrs and EK define a ULR flight as 14 hrs that what ......normal FTLs apply ?
WTF you talking about . Take a page out of your own advice and read the facts as written in the GCAA CARs.
Its the reason why we all feel so frigging stuffed on lay overs because the company roster us over multiple time zones then give us a rest period which is scientifically acknowledged as the worse possible rest, which is why its written in the regulations, and also the OMA CH 7

Factors to be considered when planning duty periods shall include;
(a) The allocation of work patterns, which avoid such undesirable practices as;
(3) the scheduling of rest periods between 18 and 30 hours especially after long flights crossing multiple time zones.
