Forcing the company to not violate the FARs would not necessarily be a detriment to anyone. Imagine if they had to contact you to notify you of those trips/SC periods, and couldn't do so unless you were contactable. That would be a great outcome for us, and we would have all the chips since the company would have to solve the problem, and we would have to agree to any solution. We would need only agree to a solution that benefitted us.
They would just call everyone at midnight. If you'd like to go that route, submit a resolution. There is no required schedule check. The agreement with the company is that the PWA waives the required 18 hour call out if it is placed on your schedule at least 12 hours prior to the end of your non fly day. Furthermore, we have asked that the company not notify us of such assignment and we will voluntarily check our own schedules on our last x day to confirm whether anything has been scheduled. If you'd like to be difficult about this, the solution is for scheduling to call at midnight upon becoming contactable. A call at midnight allows for you to get a 10 hour rest prior to any assignment or SC.
