I'm arguing that any airport/standby reserve period occurring after a brake is set, and a 30 minute "ground time" goes by is a new FDP. It cannot be a part of the previous FDP, because an FDP ends when the brake is set and there is no further intention of aircraft movement.

There is no intention of aircraft movement sitting in a crewroom when there are no Mesa airplanes or flights.

Reserve is not defined as an intention of aircraft movement--it is defined as availability for a possible assignment should one arise.

If an FDP does not end when there is no anticipation of further aircraft movement, then what's the point of even having extension language for more flight segments? And why would it be legal to put you back on airport reserve but NOT back on short-call reserve? It would completely defeat the purpose of half the statute.
