Legal to start legal to finish?

I think the 2nd attempt would be illegal. Not if you ask scheduling of course. The 2nd departure was not unforseen.

Neither an air return nor a diversion constitutes a schedule change as long as the original schedule is flown.

Below are some examples, assume the original flight was DTW-ATL.

DTW-ATL...no schedule change (obviously)
DTW-DTW-ATL...no schedule change
DTW-CVG-ATL (for emergency, weather, etc.)...no schedule change
DTW-CVG-BOS...schedule change

You can still continue the day after a diversion even if it would put you over 8 hours.

you were on the same schedule the only hard stop is 16 hours unless you are going to bust 30/7, 100/30 or the lookback rest of 24 in 7. your schedule is fine unless you were fatigued the next day. . .

Legal to start, legal to finish only applys if your original trip is flown as is, though diverts and air returns are allowed. Any city pairing changes to your schedule voids the legal to start, legal to finish.

This was the similar example that our chief used. Thanks for the coments.
