FDX - B Reserve trip assigned to A+
I noticed an airbus pm out and back 370/02Oct assigned to an A+ pilot. Gets back around 0045 local Memphis. Isn't that outside the parameters for A+ ? Shouldn't it have been assigned to a B reserve pilot?

Did it launch during the A+ window?
Did it return on a base local day (until 0130) that you had reserve?

I was thinking of the requirement that a pilot had to be released to rest no later than 4 hours after the end of his RP. However upon rereading the section, it doesn't apply if a pilot is released for a legal rest period prior to the trip which is the case here. So it is legal. If he had not acknowledged the notification early he wouldn't be legal.
