The SC is a tool used by the crew desk as a work-around for the 10 hour/12 hour long call reserve. Our negotiating committee should take a hard look at SC and make it a premium pay assignment. An hours pay per SC assignment and if you are used within 13 hours after being released from SC, the pilot will be paid time and a half for the trip. That will put the kee-bosh on that abuse.
