Standby duty with intervening rest?
According to subpart Q a Standby is defined as follows:
´Standby´: A defined period of time during which a crew member is required by the operator to be available to receive an assignment for a flight, positioning or other duty without an intervening rest period.
My operator assigns it´s pilots to perform 2 legs with an intervening rest period (an minimum rest outstation). In my opinion this goes against the definition. After I checked out for my first leg, my INTERVENING rest starts (and so I´m free of all duties incl. standby duties). Therefore my Standby ends at check out.
Please share your vision about this!
Thanks in advance!
