More excellent info, thanks!
So if I absolutely must be OFF on the 4th in my scenario is there anyway they can use me on the 4th by assigning a trip during LC on the 1st? Or does the 30 hr rest req null that?
31__1__2__3__4__5
trip LC CQ CQ LC Xday
How many days prior to the 4th is the 1st? What does the PWA say about when manual coverage for a rotation begins?
I surmise you’re ATL based purely upon the fact your CQ is a 2-day pattern which means no travel day. So add 9 hours to the end of your sim on the 3rd… if that time is still the 3rd you simply go back on call (contactable status) at midnight.
Since you’re going right into an X day after you probably won’t deal with the attempted shenanigan of assigning you a SC period between 10-18 hours after long call start following a CQ day… but remember… you are NON-CONTACTABLE… anything given to you while non-contactable is not fly-now-grieve-later. The only way you can put yourself on the hook is to acknowledge, then it becomes fly now…
Resist the urge to do any schedule viewing while on your CQ days. Just monitor for appropriate contact once back on LC.
