That's about it.

Another thing is you are not required to answer your phone after check-in, including your hotel room phone. They like to add turns when overnighting in another base, "reflows", exc.... some captains are so far removed from the reserve game CS will call them and ask to speak to you and they'll hand you the phone. Theres a bunch of grey area regarding ops agents on the in range call, ACARS, exc. I pretty much held the stand unless my chief pilot was waiting to personally tell me to call CS in the jetbridge I wasn't going to do it.

Another thing to consider with self notifying online the night before is that you are now bound by normal lineholder rest, not the 16 hour from the start of your RAP (non-extendable) which is often more restricting especially for an AM RSV.

You don't have to accept a release into rest, they'll argue with you about it... but don't do it.
