But it more comes in like with this part of the contract:
Now I know it says "MAY ELECT" to drop something to bring me back down under 28.5, but they won't because we are short staffed and they are concerned a reserve guy can't cover that last round-trip. That was more at what I was getting with originally.
The point was that scheduling will know (or should know but probably wont until you tell them) that you are over, the day prior. At that point, they are required to make it legal again, not on the last leg at the outstation. Otherwise, if you and the company wait until the last leg at the outstation, YOU and the company would have operated in violation of FARs.

If your actual plus future scheduled goes over thirty in 7 they have to adjust it.
Let me put it this way, if it does go above 30 before the 7th day, then yes they have to adjust it right away. But if it doesn't happen until the 7th day, then no. I had to look that one up to refresh my memory.
