I guess the question is, when did you "land" on a gate return?

ok, then doesnt the question become...if the flight number doesnt change with the return, than isnt it just a continuation of that flight and thus SHOULD be included in the total flight time of that perticular flight number/segment? I understand that you didnt actually take off at that point or land but eventually that flight did under that same number, and that time should be counted towards the total. Please take this as a true question, im not trying to be an a$$.

..........A-6. No. Taxi time and ground holding time, which are not followed by
actual flight, are not considered “flight time” for purposes of
calculating flight time limitations.....
....so my argument would be that it is was followed by actual flight...and because that flight number/flight segment did not change it should be considered as total flight time.
I think that that could be sucessfully argued in a court.
