BL, the only time you get 1800 “protection” on your first day of reserve LC is if the preceding day is vacation. Being a “regular pilot” is irrelevant, and does not get you any extra time off on the first day of LC.
Scheduling seems to disagree with you FWIW. Trip was removed and reassigned. I'm back on LC. Oh well, I was ready to go fly either way but I'll take it.
