As for me I was given a SC and did not acknowledge until 9 hrs prior. I had a discussion with a supervisor as the first scheduler who wanted me either to take the original start to the sc as I called in voluntarily even though it was less than 10 hrs, or take a PD. The supervisor slipped the sc so I would be in compliance, but it took a bit of talking and coming up with alternatives.
I tried to uphold the contract by not acknowledging a short call conversion until past the 10 hr window (PWA requires acknowledgement 1 hr prior). Called crew skeds and fully expected a PD, but they just rolled back the short call back to a later start time.
