So, with the very few international destinations out of DTW, he was basically off the hook until they gave him rest.

Now, if they don't give me a 24 hour break in 7, I just wait until they figure it out and call me. I'm not going to bring it to their attention. Can't fly a domestic trip without it, so makes sitting long call at home a bit more "safe".

All of the above. So long as you have 24 off in 7 - they can call and you must acknowledge - wherever you may be... you dont necessarily get it at home. Reserve sux mooose schl...

Also, if you have 24 hours free from duty on a trip that will count too.
