report for duty with the intention of conducting a flight, a series
of flights, or positioning or ferrying flights, and ends when the
aircraft is parked after the last flight and there is no intention for
further aircraft movement by the same flightcrew member.
If I'm required (by nature of the shuttle schedule) to be there 30 minutes early, then my FDP starts 30 minutes early.
Think about it, if this weren't the case why couldn't the company schedule your shuttle to arrive 3 hours early and get some free defacto reserve out of you? What's the limit?
