Short call pilots (domestic and international):
1. Will now be released no later than 1200 on their last day prior to a hard non-fly day (e.g. golden day or military leave) and,
2. Crew Scheduling will make every reasonable effort to schedule multiple consecutive short call periods if a pilot requests them. A pilot whose request for back to back short calls is denied may ask Crew Scheduling for the reason for such denial. If you are not satisfied with the explanation, you may wish to contact the MEC Scheduling Committee.

I might be wrong, but I believe a HARD non-fly day is not the same as just having an normal off day (Probably the reason for the examples).
