Even if they tried to stick it to him with the SD fantasy 2 hour leash memo, that had nothing to do with anything, as he still had over 2 hours had they just waited til start of SC to call again.

The only things I can think of is that they either just reflexively "pumped and dumped" the trip because they were in "fantasy memo mode" or they were trying to get an earlier acknowledgement because they wanted or needed a long duty day and wanted report to start at 14:30 instead of off a noon RAP.
