EK Rest Day before Leave
I have 2 days OFF and REST before LEAVE after a swap.
Can Crewing change my REST day.? i.e. AD, CU etc..
Is it safe to go ?
A reference or where to look would be nice.

Fill in an off base? Then you can say they were notified I had a day off changed to to an AD after a swap, which after an enquiry was changed to a rest day. My suspicion is that rest days are being used tactically to avoid having to give too many days off. The schedulers are also under the gun from those upstairs.

Isn't it sad that they now roster you to finish a duty the day, in fact sometimes minutes, before your leave starts. I think this is a dangerous practise considering most guys need to fly somewhere to get home on vacation!
Gone are the days of getting 2 days off before and after your leave for travel purposes!

I was rostered a flight landing DXB 23:20 before my leave once, and ALTs for me and family booked on the 203. I called fleet and said that the rostered flight wasn't doable as I would be on my way to the airport to check in at 23:00. No problem, they took me off the flight!

Falcon,
If you have a Day Off or a Rest Day changed to an AD after a swap, you can write to the flight crew swappers and they will forward an email to the Superindentands to change it back to A Day Off it happened to me after swapping a flight for something landing slightly earlier...
I was told this by a Senior Captain here so I tried it and within minutes it was sorted.
