I called ALPA scheduling to ask if this was ok. The short answer was "yes...the 30-hour rest period is treated like your last X-day prior to a reserve period. So as long as they have the trip on your line 9 hours prior to when you go back on LC, then it is a legal assignment." Take it for what it's worth, but I just fought that monkey yesterday.
If you were already in rest, how could you legally report less than 10 hours of rest unless you voluntarily self notified for that trip? Or is this a situation where the contract states that you must assume a report right after the 30 hours of rest could occur?
117 rest requires you to be free from all constraint during rest so I'm trying to figure out how you can legally report for that assignment unless going into the 30 hours of rest, you already know about it being there, or your requirement to assume it will be there.
In this situation, it almost seems like you aren't really on long call until within 9 hours prior to going on long call and you have to assume an assignment could exist right after that rest period is over.
