What's the difference?
2 hours at the end of short call if you don't get used. For the widebody commuters, it's a wash. They now get 12 hours notice, can't use the 2 hour commute, but their short call was reduced from 14 to 12 hours. For the narrowbody guys, this is a concession. Truthfully, we are so short I don't see anyone not getting used on short call until the slow season so it's not a huge concession.
