They do not allow ready reserve after flying though. The FAA had even clairified this early on. It is what it is. I was not happy with the FAA's interpretation of it but unless you want to take it to court, this is what they say it is.
Do you have a link to this interpretation?
I am currently a reserve pilot. My understanding, as well as my company's understanding at this point is that once you operate "with intent to fly" or some such wording and then you block in with no further flying assigned you are done......period. 10 hours rest required, have a nice day.
I find it hard to believe my company missed such a potentially meaningful interpretation, especially since they have gone off and running with the FAA's interpretation of FDP limits being extendable.
