So I guess flying out of an FDA, domestic rest rules are used under many conditions and generally you won't be compensated for GPEs?

Section 4.EE. Minimum Guarantees and Other Pay Provisions - Grid Penalty Event (GPE)
This paragraph applies to all international trips EXCEPT for international trips constructed under Section 12.D.1.b. or c.

Section 12.D. Hours of Service - International Provisions
General
Except as provided in Section 12.D.1.b. and D.1.c. (below), international provisions apply to flight activities of pilots that originate from, have a destination of, or make an intermediate stop at a location outside the contiguous 48-states. A scheduled international flight activity that actually operates entirely within the 48 contiguous states shall be governed by the domestic provisions contained in Section 12.C.
Domestic rest limitations may be applied to SIBA and FDA trips operating entirely outside the locations described in Section 12.D.1.c.i. (below), provided that they are scheduled not to exceed domestic block hour and on-duty limitations. Such trips must also meet the following:
no duty period is scheduled to exceed 6 block hours or 11 hours on duty; and
if a duty period actually exceeds 6 block hours or 11 hours on duty, that duty period may be operationally extended as follows:
(a) to domestic limitations if the preceding rest period was at least a minimum domestic legal rest period; or
(b) to international limitations if the preceding rest period was at least a minimum international legal rest period; and
if a duty period actually exceeds 6 block hours or 11 hours on duty, the pilot shall receive an international legal rest period after that duty period.
a rest period of at least 18 hours after an intercontinental deadhead shall be scheduled prior to the operation of a live flight.
an international legal rest period must follow a deadhead to and from a SIBA or FDA base in a trip on which a pilot, other than a pilot on SIBA or FDA, deadheads to and from a SIBA or FDA base to perform flying described in Section 12.D.1.b. (above) (i.e., the pilot is not assigned to the SIBA or FDA location but is assigned to fly a trip at such a location).
Trips in the following categories may be scheduled in accordance with domestic parameters rather than international parameters. When such trip(s) are built, they will be designated as being subject to domestic or international parameters, as applicable.
trips that operate entirely within Alaska; or within or between, Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and Puerto Rico, or between any of these locations and the contiguous 48 states.
FDA trips operated exclusively within the “European theater.” For purposes of this provision, Section 12.D.1.c.ii., the “European theater” includes airports west of 40 degrees east longitude, north of 35 degrees north latitude and east of 10 degrees west longitude. If a pilot, other than a pilot on FDA, deadheads to and from an FDA to perform flying described in this paragraph, an international legal rest period shall follow each of these deadheads, but in any case a rest period of at least 18 hours after an intercontinental deadhead shall be scheduled prior to the operation of a live flight.
If the Company opens a new FDA to operate trips that are not in the European theater, the parties shall meet and discuss whether trips assigned to that base should be eligible for construction under Section 12.D.1.c. If the Company and the Association agree, trips in that new FDA may be constructed under Section 12.D.1.c.
