Thanks,

I obviously am not required to check my schedule until 0600. So, I guess my notification of unavailability for an earlier assignment starts then?

 

A non-fly day can end at any point time of the day. Starting your first day of LC is easy math because you start LC at 0000 so the earliest you can report is 10 hours after that as long as the assignment is made by 12 hours prior to the start of LC. But those rules apply to any non-fly day end time. So in your case if you were legally assigned a 30 hour rest period that ends at 0600 then the earliest you could be made to start a rotation or SC is 10 hours after 0600 (so 1600) as long as the assignment is placed by 12 hours prior to the start of LC (so 1800 the day prior). The only time you are required to check your schedule is within 30 minutes of blocking in on the last leg of a rotation. So you are not required to check your schedule at 1800, 12 hours before starting LC, although most people would recommend doing so in order to keep scheduling honest in case they try to pull some shenanigans. If no assignment is made by 1800 you continue to have no obligation to check your schedule, so the part I bolded in your post is completely incorrect. You simply start LC at 0600 the next day and should just wait for proper contact from scheduling for any future assignments.

 

Ok. Yes thanks that makes sense. Thanks for the correction.

I guess the question becomes. A assignment was made. They’ve assigned something 12 hours prior to LC. In my case, 18. It is illegal At what point am I obligated to notify them. There will be no call from them because I am supposed to ascertain whether I’ve been assigned something or not. At some point prior to report.

 

I’m confused. What about the assignment is illegal?

 

it’s a 10am show. I was assigned rest until 0600. Extended from my x day during LC for a total of 30 hrs.

 

If the rest was placed as you said while you were finishing a LC block, then yes the assignment is illegal. I'd call scheduling around 0700 that morning to let them know.

 

The company auto assigned a 30 hour rest period at the end of my long call block that extends into my first X day even although I no longer have any more RES days this month.

This limits my ability to pick something up on my first X day. Why do they do that and can I have them remove the rest that goes into my X day?

 

Disregard. I figured it out. Midnight on the 18th of April is actually 2359 on the 17th Plus 1 minute. MiCrew visually showed the rest period spanning the whole day of the 18th which made me think I was on rest until 2359 on the 18th. Even looking at the times in the rest block in MiCrew it didn't click. I had to go into iCrew "Display Reserve Rest Periods" to figure it out.

It's not rocket science but it sure does make look stupid sometimes. Why can't MiCrew show rest blocks visually proportionally to the time of day it ends?

 

Dude … you just crashed dal IT!

 

Serial rsv bidders.. first month rsv in a long time, with the implementation of bidding sc periods a month prior does anyone have a strategy to get short call credits while flying as little as possible? Or do you juat wait till the bid month to bid those as they are posted? I was thinking maybe bidding short call the second day of my rsv stretches? Just trying to avoid getting used on rsv days. I have heard of people who consistently only fly 7-10 or less days a month with a reserve line and just was hoping for some insight on how to increase my chances achieving that
