I got hosed badly the other day after picking up an 0200 SC and with no open trips visible at 2300 bedtime... they called at exactly 0200 for an 0430 mx ferry show time. *&^%$#$@%*!!!!!

A SC officially lasts 14 hours, but after 11.5 hrs you are effectively unusable even for a DH (unless you agree to accept extra pay to be at the airport in less than 2.5). It is not unusual to get released a couple hours early from a SC that will go unused... and be assigned a trip with a showtime in 12 hours. You still get credit from the unused SC though.
