The bold statement above is absolutely false. In fact, it's just silly. Your SC RAP starts as determined by Crew Scheduling. Once assigned a trip, your FDP and time spent in the RAP cannot exceed:
The lesser of Table B plus 4 hours or 16 hours measured
from the beginning of the RAP. (non-augmented)
Table C plus 4 hours, measured
from the beginning of the RAP. (augmented)
FOM 1.50.2
UAL has never started your duty day at assigned trip report time for short calls. In fact, before FAR 117 and our new contract, the domestic limit was 14 hours from the beginning of the RAP, waivable of course.
