Yeah I know, BUT .......the way it is used against you is that you remain acclimatised until you END a duty outside the two hour band.
My point is, you can be acclimatised, then operate to some of our north/south destinations, layover for the night and operate back and still remain acclimatised for Dubai ops, despite having operated Back-of-Clock for one or maybe even both of the sectors.
The three nights of uninterrupted sleep is to get you acclimatised in the first place. Those three nights could've been weeks or months before, followed by (seemingly) endless night-turnarounds and a BOC layover to certain destinations and you'd STILL be acclimatised!
This is the point I was making; you're right, I wrote it incorrectly... sorry for the confusion.

This must cause more confusion than any other part of the FTLs. What gets people is that once they are acclimatised they can do night turnarounds for ever and they stay acclimatised until they do a layover that is more than 2 hours time zone change from Dubai. You do not become unacclimatised by doing turnarounds, no matter what time of the day or night they happen.
Also, the one day off after leave is not enough to acclimatise you as you need 3 local nights. If you fly back on your last day of leave the extra day off only gives you two local nights.

Thanks, happy to be corrected 
Thus, if you come back from leave, have one day off and are then rostered a ULR, it's illegal rostering if you have been more than 2 hours time difference from DXB. You are legally required to refuse since you do not meet the LEGAL requirements of the OM-A
Where they will get you by the short and curlies, is if you have several days off after leave and then a ULR.
