The full doesn’t get applied until you are released. I don’t know if it codified but that is how it works.
I had a three day trip which put me over the top, followed by two more LC days. Release from last day of the rotation was about 2300. If I had waited that long to get FULL placed on my schedule, I would already have been assigned another two-day (before release from the first rotation) and they would have forced me to fly the two day.
Put another way, on the morning of the third and last day of my trip, I would have been assigned another trip, since I still showed as LC. To avoid this, I called late on day 2 and asked for FULL on my schedule, which they did. No problem.
Anyone else had similar scenario? How is it handled? I’d much rather handle it prospectively, rather than have to spend 30 minutes on the phone (while trying to drive home at midnight) explaining why they need to take a trip off my schedule.
