117 doesn't prohibit them from requiring us to check our schedules on off days. Contractually you still have to check your schedule between 1500 and 0200 prior to your first day of on call days. So if you wait and check it at 0200 you are good. You then have to have 10 hours of rest before a report which is why they can no longer give us anything before 1200 on our first day. That is the way I understand it to work.
