Human Factors
Our first duty period duration stretched to XE:44; including an emergency regulatory exemption. Just after arriving to the hotel I was informed our next duty period; after a 21-hour duty break; would also press regulatory limits. The scheduler wanted a commitment that the crew would be able to extend. I informed her that such an assessment must be made at the time and cannot be achieved in advance.The company altered records to show only XA:02 (rather than XE:44) of prior regulatory duty thusly making it appear the crew would be legal for more than 30 minutes of extension for the upcoming duty period.
B777 Captain reported his company allegedly altered duty time records in an attempt to allow the crew to continue under FAR 117.
