According to the PWA, a schedule check must be accomplished NLT 0200 so you could report or begin a short call within 3 hours... or 0500 for you military types.
The company would have some real difficulty if reserves waited until 0159 before acknowledging a schedule, effectively making them only able to accept a noon start on the first day. The unpredictability would be a lot to manage.
