I will call them next time to see if I can have the SC removed in such a case, but I wanted to see how it would play out. The first day blocked in at 1500L, which is nearly the maximum 16-hour duty time permitted by the short call reserve regs.

Had I not opened MiCrew again after previously acknowledging the SC assignment, I would have presumably been getting a midnight call out for a 0600L report. I would imagine that this has got to be generating fatigue calls left and right. This instance did because cell service was intermittently down, and I wanted to check my schedule at midnight before going to bed.
