This is a REALLY hot topic at American right now. It's a no brainer though; if you go over 16 hours, you're subject to enforcement action by the feds. It's a black and white issue. My answer would be an emphatic NO to exceeding the limit, no matter what the company says. Thankfully, American will not discipline us if we say we're too tired to fly. They don't pay us either, but in in a case such as the Pan AM Captain faced, our Union would stand up and would certainly prevail.
