This is the "interpretation" that's come down from on high many times. I was able to get out of a trip once because my home reserve started at 4:35 am, but they escalated me to ready reserve PM, which starts at noon. The tried to give me an overnight, but it wasn't legal since it I would have only had a 7:53 minute look back in the previous 24 hours. Even then, it took some explaining on the phone to multiple schedulers and a scheduling supervisor for them to believe I was right. Not my rule. It's the FAAs, and you can't waive those.

Few more juicy tid bits about reserve at Pinnacle. No min day credit. So, if they call you to DH you to Knoxville to be in position for a trip the next day, your credit is less than an hour for the day. RR has no credit, either. Sit for 9 hours, and you get nothing, not even per diem.
