That's how I understand it and how it was explained to me by literally everyone (company schedulers, union reps and DALPA scheduling ninjas, etc). You can, at your leisure, check your schedule anytime, but a single X day is always at least 34 hours off. If that's not the case and your version is correct, then we have a lot of pilots flying illegally.
That’s not how this works at all. Your X day ends at midnight and you are back on long call. Don’t confuse the fact that the earliest assignment can be at 1000 for being at rest until 1000. You are very much on call at midnight unless they put you in rest before a short call or trip assignment. Check your reserve rest period info in iCrew. When you are given an assignment 9 hours before the end of your X day they will put a 12 hour rest period in there. If you don’t get an assignment there won’t be anything and you are on call at midnight.
And you need 6 hours of rest at the end of an on call day before a single X day because the 30 hours has to be prospective. You can’t extend your rest to 6 AM on your first on call day and have it count (unless that is done prospectively which they won’t do because it cuts down on your availability)
As for the people that said you have no obligations to have your phone on during the 10 hours they are technically correct, but only because we don’t have to acknowledge assignments on long call. That doesn’t necessarily mean you are at rest.
