I'm just doing my best to find a way to avoid a two-leg commute to a crash pad until I can move into a base.
Yes it can be converted to short call. I believe there is a limit on how much they can do that but I'm not sure as it's been quite a while since I was on reserve.
The reality of long call reserve is that a good portion of the LCR lines end up getting converted to "additional build ups" meaning you essentially have a line. Should you choose to not accept the additional build up LCRs also get called first to fly so it isn't going to really give you any extra time at home.
