I'm sCO international and our duty time is 16 hours scheduled 17:30 actual. On non-stop flights scheduled over 12 hours, we may be scheduled to a maximum of the combination check-in time, scheduled flight time and debriefing time. Our actual duty time can exceed 3:30, but we cannot exceed 19 hours on duty. Our longest duty day is EWR - HKG scheduled in at 17:45 this is check-in, scheduled flight time and debriefing.

At what point would you go into OT? And how much of a turn do you need so you don't start the next day in OT?
