My trust of the union is entering a spiral.

You have no personal knowledge of why our reps have chosen not to release the LOA, yet you state your opinion as fact. Why not call your reps and ask them?

What about the McFadden interpretation Scenario #1 ?

It seems to me that a FAR 117 30 hour rest is NOT the same as a regular X day. They can't require us to be aware of any duty that was not assigned BEFORE the 30 hours began.

The FAA says any obligation to check your schedule OR acknowledge duty breaks the rest.

Read Scenario #1 and the 2 questions:

I think Flying Elvis' first post was correct. If you haven't been assigned something before starting the 30 hours then you just go on long call at the end. There is no "Last non-fly day" 9 hours prior self notification type situation when it is FAA required rest.

All I know is that, contractually, such a rest break is treated the same way as an X-day. It's your job to know what's going on during your first on-call day, just as it's your job to see if you've been awarded a trip in PCS.

Apparently, none of these responsibilities breaks your rest, excepy that a reserve pilot has a momentary break in rest as he begins his first on-call day.

I learned about life at Subic Bay.
From a girl named Bruce. Odd name for a girl but her bar fine was cheap. Later I found out why.

From DALPA Vectors....September 5, 2014

"Domestic Jumpseat “Two Hour” Rule: According to Delta’s Gate Agent Knowledge Manual, no pilot may list at the gate for a jumpseat at any time earlier than two hours prior to departure. Many pilots are breaking this rule. If you find yourself in this situation, unable to list for the jumpseat because another pilot has listed more than two hours prior, please let us know by filing a JSAP and FCR."

Ughh, excuse me ALPA, when did pilots become responsible for knowing and abiding by what's in the "Delta's Gate Agent Knowledge Manual"--whatever the hell that is? The FOM has no such "two hour prior to departure" limitation (as far as I could tell). The PWA certainly has no such restriction.

Please DALPA, this is ridiculous. Can you at least pretend to stand up for the pilot group every once in a while?

I thought it came out as opinion/speculation. Next time I will use the opine emoticon.
