We have a limit of 6 or 7 shortcalls a month. That would not change. Once a reserve was out in the system however I would expect the company would keep him out there via reroutes for a long time.
The pilot would have to acknowledge a long call assignment 10 hours prior to be legal for the trip. That would be voluntary per the contract.
