First let's make sure I've got what is legal.
Legal to start RAP, legal to accept a FDP as long as it starts before 1800 (into 30-hr rest), legal to DH after 1800 (into 30-hr rest).
Pilot: I can accept the first flight but I need a 30-hr rest before anything else.
CS: You just came off a rest of more than 30 hours. Your 24 hour X-day plus the 12 hours that you knew about from your schedule check.
Pilot: No, I had a 24 hour X-day, prospective rest. I woke up at 0001 and ascertained that I had a legal 10-hour prospective rest before a RAP so was legal-to-accept the assignment. Not the same. Not legal without 30-hours.
Depends on if/when you were released into rest during the first 4-day reserve period. If you finished a rotation on final LC day before the X-day, you would be required to check your schedule in the 30 minutes following that FDP. If they assigned you rest that began prior to 1800 on that final LC day, leading into the X-day, you had 30 hours prospective rest leading into the second block of LC.
If you were never used during the first LC block (or not used on the final day of it), and never properly notified into rest prior to 1800 on the last LC day, then yea, you only had 24 hours of X-day rest.
