Why doesn't this practice violate rest rules? If you are obligated to contact the company to see if there is a change to your schedule, it becomes a "... present responsibility for duty, should the occasion arise". This should reset the rest clock. Does anyone know how airlines get this past the FAA? Seems like a brief reserve period to me.... What am I missing?
