It is starting to look like some of the predictions in this thread may be coming true: less time on a short call period, but more assignments to sit short call.
Check out the November 6 Crew Resources monthly update. It discusses the change to short call duration and has a chart that shows we are doing a lot less short calls.
Most of this was before the 12-9 hour change but I doubt they would be discussing the reduction in short calls so prominently if they had some plan to increase the number. From the update it genuinely seems like they are trying to work us smarter not harder.
With that said we have all seen Crew Resources miss the mark on occasion so lets just wait and see what actually happens before claiming a few anecdotal incidents are the leading edge of a system wide increase in SCs.
