So CBreezy is saying that this crewmember is in a "reserve status" designated as "airport/standby reserve" from 15:00-00:00.
I am arguing that you ceased being in an "airport/standby reserve status" (or an FDP) when the plane blocked in in ORD at 20:45 with no intention of further aircraft movement, and that the second block of airport/standby reserve is a new, second FDP which the crewmember is beginning without 10 hours of rest "immediately prior to beginning the reserve period"
Who agrees with me?
I dont with CBreezy. Your FDP ends at 20:45.
Once the Airport Standby (ASB) is assigned a FDP the flightcrew member (FCM) is no longer on Reserve. The FCM may be assigned additional flights as long as they have not completed the FDP. Once the FDP has ended, the FCM must be given a rest period before starting another FDP or Reserve Duty.
117.25(e)
(e) No certificate holder may schedule and no flightcrew member may accept an assignment for any reserve or flight duty period unless the flightcrew member is given a rest period of at least 10 consecutive hours immediately before beginning the reserve or flight duty period measured from the time the flightcrew member is released from duty. The 10 hour rest period must provide the flightcrew member with a minimum of 8 uninterrupted hours of sleep opportunity.
When the FAA answered RAA question they were pretty clear in the 05-Mar-2013 letters of clarification.
Look for: Rest period before being assigned a RAP.
