Or, since you are technically a long call pilot at 1159 on that last day, they can't give you that 1 day trip and must release you at 1200? If you're not sure of the answer, who should I ask?
You can always be flown up to the end of your last on-call day. If you are not flying at noon on that day, you are automatically released from duty at that time if the next day is a hard non-fly-day.
Call 800 USA-ALPA for more specific details.
