The 12 hours from the first day of work that they can't call me for.
= A minimum of 36 hours.
What am I not getting?
You are on long call for those 12 hours. That is duty.
Of course, under the document we all thought was a contract, you could have checked your schedule the last non-fly day any time after 1500.
Which brings me back to my greatest source of recent irritation. (I need some Gold Bond I guess) -->
DALPA is allowing the pilot group to think that Steve Dickson's memo is the new contract.
Our union is failing in its most fundamental duty. To defend our contract. This situation has gone on way too long. The MEC should be embarrassed and ashamed. Either start raising hell and file a grievance or just make it official --> management can re-write our contract any time they want and DALPA will do nothing about it.
edit: oops. I see sailingfun already answered the 30 hour rest question.
