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.
