Someone must have fat fingered something there. LC is 12 hours, or 10 hours to SC conversion. SC is understood to be about 2 hours or "reasonable report" especially in multipile co-bases where its about 2 hours to one and whatever it reasonably takes to the other(s). Even the 2 hours is a guideline. Quite often crews help the company out quite generously on that, and other times with traffic, weather, etc, even 2 hours from a single airport isn't enough. Much beyond that though and you'd probably have to be prepared to explain the reasonableness of it I'd assume.
