No. Rest must be prospective, meaning from a specific point in time looking forward you have to know you are going to have 30 hours of rest. Entering a 28 hour rest, then getting delayed a few hours on the next day, does not constitute a legal 30 hour rest period for 30/168 purposes. If, however, you are scheduled for a 29:55 rest, and block in 6 minutes early, at that point you know you now have 30:01 of rest going forward and that would count.

As CBreezy said, there is no fight. If they give you an assignment that you are not legal for, call them and tell them. They cannot make you report for an illegal assignment, and you can get in trouble with the FAA if you do. If they don't give you 30 hours rest then you are free to sit home and get paid until they decide to give (and properly notify) you of a future, prospective 30 hour rest period. Or until you reach scheduled days off and those days then count as rest.

Before you begin any FDP which requires a 30 hour rest prior to its start, I would *highly* recommend calling the ALPA 117 hotline. You are the only one who can protect your certificate.
