If you would not have been available due to rest, x day etc. then it's a green with an F code. The only gotcha is the PB day due or not. I got one like this last December after I was full. No PBs because they were originally RES days but I was not required to be on call. F code has always taken care of the various situations I've had. Report back if it doesn't.

I haven't done any of these 23:59 SC periods but it seems to me I wouldn't be able to sleep when I'm on a ~2 hour leash anyway. So unless we are off the hook for further SC once there's an 0800 report on my schedule, I'm not going to be able to get any rest, nor should I be expected to, since I'm still on SC. The 2359 periods are an experiment that will only work if we collectively bend over backwards to get rest while not in rest.
It's honestly one of the reasons I think twice about bidding for RSV. The solution is to YS any other SC, and then some other poor pilot ends up doing it, but maybe it doesn't bother them so it works out?

Earlier this summer, I would get a response to an inquiry within a day or two. Over a month on this one with no action. Maybe they developed a huge backlog. It doesn't sound like anybody has been able to get ALPA to comment on their stance on this, and I am not sure why.

It's almost like they wrecklessly terminated the contract with the fairly streamlined ACE App and then rushed in an inferior stop-gap email based system until they can bid a new system, all to save a few dollars per pilot....when in reality, it's costing affected pilots SIGNIFCANT money.
