Long calls can and frequently do get assigned short-call. The 2-hour call out means many pilots will simply either have to mitigate commuting by getting local crash pads, hotels or stage themselves at halfway points during short-call. Don't forget it may take 30 minutes of inside airport transportation to get to sign in, so couple that with 30 minutes to get ready (provided you're spring-loaded, already packed and sitting at home with your phone in your hand), most pilots will have to be within 1 hours drive time to the airport.

That's a pretty small percentage of pilots. Most pilots who aren't already line holding captains already will suffer if they want to transition to Group IV FO or upgrade to captain at the first opportunity. It's going to be a disaster for many pilots.

Unfortunately, some pilots are so intoxicated with pleasure at the thought if instant financial gratification, they've masturbated themselves into denial. It's just a suggestion, but I'd clean my shoes off before going out in public if I were you.
