I don't disagree. But since they can't really use me out of long call in my last 12 hours of a day, they would seem to do better to start my rest at noon, and potentially free me up to fly green slips reporting on that first X day...or early AM (e.g., 0500) on the day following that one.
What good am I at 1400 on long call my last day? It has to be pretty far down the coverage ladder to actually sign in on a soft no-fly day, different from being flown into one.
