Oceanic,
Are you willing to put your license on the line when you finally land in BOS and the FAA are waiting to ask you why you have been on duty for 26 hours??
Coming back into DXB, its a completely different story

Guys seriously, 22 hrs thats it. Not worth 100 replies, just dump it in okbk and fly bizz home. All the people 'promised' to support yr run into the gcaa office will be busy. Draw the line, stand yr ground.

I wouldn't go a minute over the 22 hour limit, just pointing out how ridiculous it is that there is further wriggle room in the provision. A few years back (340-500 )flight a colleague (who is now happily retired) refused to go into discetion out of Dubai to JFK and was promptly marched into the Chief Pilots office to be told he was not a 'team player'. The 3 other pilots went, & the flight diverted. Never heard anything from Fleet about his refusal after that.
Talparc,
The FAA have audited EK a few times with the ULR plan in the book. It's still there. So they don't seem to have a problem with it.

"planned crew of 4"
The sector has to be shorter than 15 hrs though.
