FSM D 13
Below is part of an email from ALPA
The MEC is aware that Crew Services has been assigning pilots a shortened RAP on their first day of reserve. Their intent is to initiate the rest period early and have the reserve pilot available for an early morning RAP on their second day. FSM D 13 (which is still active as per the Implementation LOA) states that after the reserve assignment process is complete, a pilot cannot be released early from a SCR assignment without their concurrence. We ask that you monitor your RAP and rest periods closely to verify compliance with the contract and avoid any possible fatigue-inducing situations. If you have any questions or concerns about your RAP, contact Crew Services to address them.
