Quoting you because it was the last one. Fangs, there is a lot going on in SRH example 6. I’ll break it down in a second.
But overall: REG pilots are on off days/time immediately after rotation release. So, as soon as a REG pilot is rerouted and scheduled to release >4h late, that duty period gets L8, as do all duty periods that infringe on a REG day off.
RES pilots return to LC status until 2359 of their last LC day. Example: scheduled release on the last LC day at 1200 base time. Rerouted to release 1900 base time, still on a LC day. The trigger of “interrupted an X day” is not met.
I’ll say it again, just in case: if a rerouted duty period does not infringe on an X day, on a duty period by duty period basis, L9 is not due for that duty period.
The SRH language only covers REG. They don’t do a good job of covering RES at all.
