If you try and claim that your rest the night before was predicated on a short easy day and that you're fatigued, they'll require a fatigue report and ask why you were not fulled rested for a complete FDP period.
Good luck everyone.
Well that may be, but I have an FAA interpretation that says nothing about being able to extend me without notification. Until I see that in writing, without notification prior my FDP ends when I set the brake. Long story short, I'm not accepting a RSV assignment extension.
And you can call in fatigued at any time. As long as it's not predicted. I was fully rested when I started my FDP and good to go for the day. I can't predict whether I'll be fatigued or not at the end of it.
