They don't get a rolling max duty day to begin whenever they want it to begin, but until it begins its considered rest, even though you HAVE to check your schedule during that "rest". That's completely unreasonable and pushing the limits of the regs. The time I pushed it CS and ALPA agreed with me. Be very careful going more than 16 hours beyond 10AM. Hopefully your trip finishes earlier than that anyway, but if not I'd check hard into it.
Hey man, don't get so wound up. There is no requirement to check your schedule in this case or on the last X-day. But, CS can put a trip on your schedule inside of 12 hr following the rest, if they meet certain time constraints, and I for one check my schedule so they will not call me in the middle of the night to confirm the assignment and I need the time to comute. There is a REQUIRED schedule check following a trip for a reserve, but there is not a REQUIRED check during any rest. CS will call again 2-3 hours before the trip/SC to confirm, if you don't acknowlege before then. I understand your point about duty time, but I don't think that has anything to do with checking your schedule.
