You're still a regular pilot in a regular month so you can’t be assigned any rotation reporting during a time window a reserve pilot might be required to ascertain for.
Question: Does it have to be a REG day off? What about a REG day on where you end a trip?
Let's say you block-in at 1530 as REG on last day of the bid period. REG to RES.
You squeeze yourself on the employee bus amongst all the P.F. Cheech & Chong's and Skunk-Fil-A workers who still reek of that morning's pre-shift clambake and head to the parking lot. Then it hits you. "Do I have to do a 1600 pre-release sked check because I'm RES tomorrow?
Or do you simply begin 18-hour leash at 0000 later that night?
