Glad to hear it; I welcome any and all QoL improvements, but let's keep this in perspective. I've sat a lot of short call and I've never been called-out in the last 3 hours of my assignment. Over the past year at the end of every unused SC I'd call CS 2 hours prior to my finish time and ask to be released early, and 100% of the time that request was granted. At the 9 hour point a RES pilot just isn't that usable. My guess is the company ran the numbers and decided that based on historical RES usage in the last 3 hours of a 12 hour call-out it made sense to put that pilot into rest instead of burning the additional 3 hours sitting SC where they can't effectively be used. Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly happy about the change as it saves me a phone call and even gives me a bonus hour but this is a practical business decision which some number cruncher has determined will benefit the company in a meaningful way.
