given the way you’ve described the scenario, no. You would not have been identified as a short call pilot for that trip. You would have come up as a long call pilot but ineligible due to FAR required rest.
however, I don’t believe that extending a short call then running a TC to identify you as a SC has been litigated.
the PWA states a SC pilot will remain on short call for a period that does not exceed 12 hours.
my personal belief is that we consider the assigned short call to be un extendable.
tennisguru provided SRH ref but basically…
In a 1000-1900 SC a 1901 rotation report would not be legal.
