Let me guess for your timeline:

0500 SC starts
825 or Earlier - trip assigned, released from SC
1625 report

825 - 1625 8 hours of whitlow rest....

They do it al the time, and if you commute for SC it makes for a long day.
If we were smart we would fix this in the new contract:

SC start + 14 = max duty day, extandable to 16 with pilots concurrence...
