Contract definition: “Rest” or “Rest Period” means an off-duty period between checkout and check-in, either at domicile or away from domicile.
I'm unsure of what the purpose of this contract provision is for as the FAA defines a rest facility as: "a bunk or seat accommodation installed in an aircraft that provides a flightcrew member with a sleep opportunity."
5.A.6
“For scheduled or rescheduled layovers between four and five hours (block-in to block-out), the Company shall make available either a suitable crew rest facility or a double occupancy hotel room at an established crew hotel reasonably close to the airport.”
I’ve been told that this is why we have quiet rooms within the crew rooms. They are considered to be “crew rest facilities”
