So say on my day off I get up at 6am start my day off with getting the kid breakfast, then taking to school, and then run errands or work on projects around the house. Maybe take my wife to lunch. In the afternoon same stuff errands running around doing normal day off stuff. Maybe even take the boat out for a couple hours at the lake. Walk into my home at 4pm after a busy day. Crew Services call and wants to junior assign me a trip that has a 6pm show. Where in the previous 12 hours did I have the Required rest. Another, what if I like to stay up late off today suppose to be off tomorrow so go to bed at 1am company calls at 5am to junior me to a 7am show. Where is my 8 hours of opportunity. How can I ever even plan and have the rest required if I did not expect the flight. Just because I am off it does not mean I have been resting.
