My understanding is that your FDP ends at block in (last leg), not the 15 mins extra the company includes. So if you aren't notified prior to block in, you're free to go.
This is from the reserve section of the FAR 117 ALPA Guide...
Quote:
Q-90. A flightcrew member on reserve is assigned a 3-day trip. On day 3,
the flightcrew member flies one segment and returns to base. After
block-in, the certificate holder assigns 3 additional segments which
can be completed within the FDP, flight time and cumulative
limits. Is this permissible?
A-90. If the flightcrew member has completed the FDP (blocked
in), he/she cannot be placed on a RAP to allow further flight
assignments until he/she has received a 10 consecutivehour
rest. However, before the end of the FDP, the
certificate holder could reschedule and add the 3 flight
segments. In that event, the flightcrew member would have
to recalculate the FDP, flight time and cumulative limits to
determine if the additional flight segments can be legally
flown. The flightcrew member would also have to reaffirm
his or her fitness for duty before beginning each flight
segment
I haven't dug in to any of the interpretations though, just the ALPA guide and FAR.
