You also have an obligation to check you schedule on an X day.
There is no way this can be true. You have zero obligation of any kind on an X day.
This discussion is about what happens during the first minute coming off your last X day. But while you are on it there is no debate about this. Zero obligation while on an X day. Full stop.
Bottom line, no matter how sympathetic you are to the company and crew scheduling
Ha! Hardly. I hope I'm wrong about this because that would mean whenever they forget to mark R and annotate a specific 30 hour period, then you'd only have 24, and would still be owed another 30. That's fine with me!
But speaking of the company's perspective, why on earth would they not simply hack out a free memo that says "unless you hear otherwise from CS, you will automatically be released at 6PM going into an X day"? Or at least an "if on long call" version of that?
What possible gain would they get from putting themselves in a position to miss an obvious 30 hour break trying to get 6 more hours of an unusable 12 hour callout going into an X day and then creating a legality issue for rest for the next period?
