By definition you’re being intentionally obtuse (and projecting). You are no longer in rest at your original report. That can never be rolled.

Things that are Pay and Credit go TOWARD the guarantee.

Things that are Pay only (no credit) go ABOVE guarantee.

So if the 23M7 line in the top 3rd of your timecard (where your normal rotations, SCC, etc show up) has time showing in the credit column, then it's showing as pay and credit, which isn't correct.

Did the company make some unilateral decision to recode 23m7 missed GS for reserves as credit now? I've seen lots of posts where it's been applied incorrectly. Are they doing this on purpose? They don't usually mess this up. Big status quo change?

Also, gloopy is definitely being intentionally obtuse or just hasn't experienced the pseudo-RAP situation out on the line yet.

You are put on a RAP (if you acknowledge), you are NOT in rest, but you haven't reported to the airport yet.

On purpose? Maybe....but I put it more in the Hanlon's razor category.

Status Quo? That's not what status quo mean in terms of the RLA.

For those that want to read up on the report time / RAP / FDP discussion, highly recommend checking out the SRH page 178 titled "Report Time Changes"....there are three scenarios:
1) you don't acknowledge anytning
2) you acknowledge new report with > 10 hours prior to new report
3) you acknowledge new report with < 10 hours prior to new report.

Reserve pilot not scheduled for OE until outside of shadow period: I know you get PB days if scheduled for OE on an X day, but there’s not any pay implications right?

Coming back onto long call from a partial/PR payback day, any gotchas to them assigning you SC on that same day?

A PR day is simply an X day that ends at other than midnight, thus the same non-fly day rules apply regarding reporting between 10-18 hours after the start of LC as long as the assignment is made by 12 hours prior to the start of LC.

If I have a SC period starting later in the day and have told them I am non contactable for the first two hours, how far in advance can I check my schedule and not become contactable? I'd like to know if they put a trip on my schedule starting later in the evening, but don't start SC for 5 more hours.

My understanding is that you can check it just prior to your SC without it revoking the NC status.

If you check your after invoking the 2 hour non-contact, then you have void'ed the 2 hour non contact.

Look at the daily trip coverage....or have a buddy look at your schedule....neither of those required viewing your actual icrew schedule, so it preserves the non contact.

You got a source for that? SRH page 102 states (bold is my emphasis):

"At any point prior to the end of the two-hour period, the pilot may inform Crew Scheduling that they are now available for contact or check their schedule and, if no assignment has been made, will then be required to be “promptly available” as described above."
