3. Domestic Crew Planning Limitations
Crew Planning limitations shall apply until 48 hours prior to showtime of a trip or series of trips, except that such limitations do not apply to a sequence of trips that includes an optional assignment (e.g., make-up, trip trade, volunteer or draft). Trips constructed and revisions that occur after that time shall be governed by Section 12.C.4. through C.6., as applicable.
a. Layover Minimum
A layover preceding duty as an operating pilot shall be scheduled
for at least 10:15 hours. A layover preceding deadhead duty may be scheduled to a minimum of 8 hours.
you are probably quoting the operational rules, not pre planning or bid packs.
