If a reserve pilot calls in well after 0601, he will be charged for a sick day and be placed on long call status at 0001 the following day. The logic is that a reserve pilot who calls in well prior to 0600 can be given an assignment on that day since a long call pilot has an 18-hour leash."
In addition, "Engage" podcast episode #30 confirms 0600 for the 18 hour callout.
Clearly, they missed correcting the SRH on page 164 (the old Contract's reality). Submitting an ACE to correct this typo would be good.
Related question: Anyone know what they are doing when you find yourself needing to call sick the day before a trip that was now assigned two days prior? I know in the past when I was assigned a trip early in the morning for the following day and I then had to call sick, I got a call from an ACP accusing me of sick time abuse....
