We have nothing in the OM regarding positioning counting as a sector (excl split). We do, however have reference to people jumpseating to start duty at their base from home. (Nomads). Due fatigue, a nomad positioning to work foc on the only available jumpseat flight, is on FDP 90 mins after the departure of that flight. It does not count as a sector, but it starts the clock ticking.

Ref no sig's (quick) definition of 'sector', I hope all OM's now include the phrase 'until brakes on after landing' or similar, or an RTO or return to stand will bite the FDP.

Funniest one I ever heard:

'CAP371 clearly states, when positioning on the P3 seat, positioning counts as a sector'. Never found that in 371, never had the heart to tell said Captain we don't work to CAP371, we work to the approved company FTLS...........................
