Not eligible for RAT because it is less than 4 hours.
IMHO, FDX is trying to circumvent the 16 hour duty.
Duty starts at original show or beginning of R day. Sounds like they did not want to give people excuses to deny the change thus putting them in further hurt locker. For those of you on reserve don't forget putting in the FAR extension pay if you go over 13+30 duty.
