Para reads in part: ...If a pilot, other than a pilot on FDA, deadheads to and from an FDA to perform flying described in this paragraph, an international legal rest period shall follow each of these deadheads, but in any case a rest period of at least 18 hours after an intercontinental deadhead shall be scheduled prior to the operation of a live flight.



Not much point in having Hotel STBYs if you cant fly any trip in the area. Look at the EUR 57 FO open time. Six weeklong pairing for next week. I think there are only 2 Reserve guys, it is ugly. Of course between AVA and X Pairings they will get filled. Cant blame the Europe guys cause they will just draft someone from MEM to fill.
