RE: BA Flight Cancelled As Crew Rest Was Disturbed
Additional duty time has to be given for briefing and pre and post flight duties (1hr and 30mins respectively at my airline). Crew cant just teleport from the hotel to the aircraft unfortunately. So the only way this could be rostered is as a split duty as anjin pointed out.
