Thanks. I have PB days from 21-30 June and Pr on 1 July for 10 minutes. CS gave me rest beginning at 0010. It is my assumption they did this to prevent me from being eligible for a trip that might somehow conflict with my 2 July sign-in. I've can't see why else they would assign rest like that, they're basically giving away a full day of LC and they are doing it 2 weeks in advance.

It seems to me the timing is based on what day of the week the 11th and 16th is and whether it's lunch time. If the 16th is a monday holiday or city school holiday, they'll come out real fast.
So they come out right before lunch in backdoor, officially after lunch on the same day.
If work is required over a weekend then they'll be done early. So if the 11th is Friday, then they'll start on Monday. If the 16th is Sunday, all bids out by Friday.
Tic but it sure seems to be the way it's done and given how much is done via pen and paper, like GSs, I wouldn't be surprised.

Reserve question:
If I get released to rest after a 3 day at 1300, I am on rest until the next day at 0100, and that next day is my last day of reserve before a golden x day, can the company use me on that day? How can they give me a 12 hour call out and get me released by 1200 before my golden x day?
Thanks in advance.

I thought I read something about a month ago saying we were getting rid of two duty periods in one days. I read this as "red eye day sleep night flight" but they're still all over the place. So what did they mean? What did we get rid of?

My category (DTW) had some of those trips with two duty periods on the same day, in July. (red eye into ATL, then leave that night for SAN for example).

I don't remember reading anything like that, where was it? I dislike those a lot and can't see that I missed them. I had a whole month of them in Jan.

Just about 100% of the LAX 73N 2 day red eye trips are built this way...9pm-midnight departure flying a transcon to the east coast (mainly TPA, MIA, MCO) day sleep then fly the 6-8pm departure back to LAX arriving about 24 hours TAFB. Productive trips (1030 CR in 24 hours) and easy for a west coast guy because of the minimal body clock hit. The mid rotation red eyes and the red eyes the NYC and ATL guys have are what sucks...landing and finishing a trip on a red eye, no thanks! I think it's very base specific. I don't mind LAX red eyes since most red eye rotations start with them and you get it out of the way early.
