Sort of. CBA 26.J.2.a says if you jumpseat on company equipment into a trip, the first duty period must be less than 13:30 from showtime for jumpseat to 30 minutes after the termination of first duty period. So, while not a Duty Period issue in the traditional use of the term, it effectively is, per the CBA. Also, CBA 26.J.2.c says you must have a minimum of 1:30 hours between scheduled jumpseat block-in and showtime.
How this applies to reserves, I dunno. Since you probably don’t have a trip assignment, it doesn’t seem that these aforementioned paragraphs apply and therefore best judgement might be the rule of law.
