       7.2Before beginning any standby time or FDP, an FCM must have had at least 36 consecutive hours off-duty, including 2 local nights, in the 168 hours before the projected end time of the assigned FDP or assigned standby.
       7.3Before beginning any standby time or FDP, an FCM must have had at least 6 days off-duty in the 28 consecutive days before the standby or FDP commences.

       10.3Despite subclauses 10.1 and 10.2, the FCM may have a 4th, or a 4th and a 5th, consecutive early start (whether or not the start infringes the WOCL) if:
