It is when the scheduler is new and sends you to the hotel and you check in before she calls you back to tell you you're no longer on the trip.

Thanks. As a practical matter, though, either the release you to rest, or they don't. It's hard to imagine how they can argue you've been released to a "rest" that happens to match the length if the original layover, already have assigned you the "new" trip, and be able to convince a neutral that you weren't doing a base layover on the original trip. I'd have to spend time with a CA volunteer to figure this out, but it just seems like a sketchy practice.

You don't have to impress them when they're family, right? "Now come here and give your old, excentric, uncle 80 knots a big kiss, Natasha".

Nothing sketchy about it- it's allowed via the FARs and will continue to be via FAR 117, too. Every time I've been standing at the bus stop and the phone rings to notify me of the new assignment which is the balance of the trip. Doesn't matter if I answer or not, it's a legal assignment and at or above 12 hours...

Question- If you're sent to the SIM for landing currency while on RES, is that day treated like a normal RES day? If you get sent down on an X day, will you be given a payback day? Thx.
