So, a reserve pilot may be required to work reserve for 10 days straight without a 24/7 break.
Every time I have called scheduling and told them I have been on for more than 7 days they give me a break of 24hrs. Even pushed back a SC for it once. Call them and point it out.
Actually I just checked and I need to call them and tell them I've been on for 8. Or I'll just wait and when they call to tell me I've got a trip with less than 24hrs of notice I'll point it out then.
