Thanks LG, I feel very fortunate to be in this position. I know they can use short-call 8 times/month...would I know about those when I receive my schedule? I've seen posts about scheduling converting long-calls to short-calls. I'm imagining getting a call at home saying "You're now on short-call" and going immediately to the airport to commute to base/crashpad. Would I be expected to put myself within the "reasonable" time of 2 hours with no prior notice? The flights to ATL run about every hour from 9am to 9pm.
