Thanks again for chasing this. I'm still wondering if I should follow up the STS response I got when I was assigned a reserve trip because they skipped the pilot ahead of me on account of this exact issue. They were legal for the RAP but (according to 2 schedulers and my first STS response) not legal for the FDP due to 30/168.
Every one of those RAPs pays me an hour. CS can F up stuff as much as they like, it usually results in more $ for me.
