I was alerted today that I have been given a reserve rest period from the end of my rotation on the 31 (2038) to 2 Apr (0238) (30 hrs). Am I eligible for assignment at 0238 or am I eligible for 12 hr call out at 0238, meaning the earliest trip I can be assigned would be 1438 on the 2nd?

I'm happy to have the time off I just want to know what to expect. I also thought I read something about having to be notified by 1500 the day prior for any assignment. Does that mean 1500 on the 1st?

Thank in advance for the help.
They can either assign you short call or a trip beginning at 1238. If you are commuting, you can inform crew scheduling that you will be unavailable for the 1st 2 hours of your short call period. For details see pages 74 and 75 of the scheduling reference handbook.
