A Flight Attendant is not considered to be scheduled on duty in excess of duty period limitations if the flights to which the Flight Attendant is assigned are scheduled and normally terminate within the limitations but due to circumstances beyond the control of the certificate holder, such as adverse weather conditions, are not at the time of departure expected to reach their destination within the scheduled time (FAR 121.467). 4. Irregular operations may cause the duty day to be extended beyond scheduled hours, but the duty day will not exceed 16 hours per Company policy. Exception: may exceed 16 hours enroute if the flight can reasonably expect to depart the gate prior to 16 hours in order to return a crew to Base and to avoid a cancellation at an outstation. If a Flight Attendant's duty day exceeds 16 hours, the following rest period will be increased per the table below based upon the length of the actual duty day. It will be the Flight Attendant's responsibility to contact Crew Scheduling within 2 hours of duty release to request that his/her additional rest time is scheduled and any required adjustments to the next duty are made. Any trip segment that they may be unable to fly as a result of the additional duty time and agreed to rest period will be pay protected by the company. The Flight Attendant will pick up any remaining segments after the additional Base rest is completed. 5.
