Hey internet:

Does short call count as part of your FDP when it rolls into an immediate assignment?

Had a convo recently with a CT supervisor who told me no, that I could sit a six hour short call, be assigned a full FDP as if the short call never happened at the tail end, then voluntarily extend 2 more hours.

This could easily turn into a “responsible for duty” of well over 20 hours.

Brought to my attention when my release paperwork haas the same LATT as my FO who had trip the assigned the day before and I’d been on short call for 5 hours already.

Thanks. (I don’t bid reserve much because it absolutely sucks. Worst possible trips that line holders and even other reserve pilots sick out on)
