Yes...but...international categories have 24 hr long short calls though. It is OK if you live in base...otherwise you can get screwed. For example, they assign Monday 6:00 AM to Tuesday 6:00 short call. (now thats two hotel rooms...you made it to your base Sunday night to be in position early morning on Monday). It gets even worse. They give Tuesday off for rest and then assign a 24 hr short call window on Wednesday again. Now...you can't get home on Tuesday (if you're a commuter) because you have to be in position by 6:00 AM (8:00AM latest) on Wedneday for the short call. So...you do 2 short calls and eat 5 hotel rooms ....and add all the time spent away from home. I'm trying to get out of my seat lock and get displaced to a domestic category on this AE! In the meantime...time to get a dang crash pad...I thought I was done with it
