However, you can pick up flying that would be more than 6 days in a row, as long as one of those 30 hour lost days are in there somewhere. In other words, the company cannot force you to spend more than 6 days out of base, but you can trade/OT yourself into it.
Edit: To answer the original question, no - a lost day does not count towards the minimum 11 days off/month. You are considered to be on duty, and thus earning per diem during a lost day.
Actually it doesn't say you get a day off over a seven day period IN BASE. You can look for it but it is not there.
Edit: Section 10 A. 4 Comes close and I agree the original intent was to have a day off IN BASE, but it just says you need one duty free day if you have been on duty for six consecutive days.
You are only guaranteed 11 days off IN BASE per month.
