I know a reserve pilot is on long call on any on-call day on which he is not assigned to short call and I know what the ladder says but that's why I ask if you're still on LC.

But sometimes I have SC for the next day but they take it away and assign a trip most of the time with an earlier report but all > 12 hours. Sometimes they keep me on SC and go to the next LC guy. It goes either way and I was just trying to figure if that is schedulers discretion or there was a rule?

Will keep a lookin'.
At the very least Whitlow will require 8 hours of rest prior to SC, because SC is not considered rest...

Off the top of my head the SC assignment removes the reserve pilot from obligations of being contactable but reality is that it's hit or miss on whether you'll be called prior to a trip being placed on your schedule when assigned SC for the next day...
