When does my long call leash start? At the end of my rest?
Thanks in advance.

You are pretty much correct. However, since you're a reserve in NOV
don't forget the required schedule check after you block in from that trip. They always have that one last shot at reserves at the end of every trip before you are truly "released". They could have cancelled or modified your rest, or assigned you short call or another trip immediately after your rest. etc. etc. Not likely, but possible.
Assuming you check your schedule and they haven't done any of that, then you have no responsibility to answer the phone or check your schedule during the 24 hour rest. You just go on long call at the end of it. The usual 12 hour leash.
