So, I think the earliest they could require you to be on S/C for tomorrow would be 12 hours from when they call you. In other words, if they called you at 7:44PM tonight, the earliest they could require you to be on S/C would be 7:44AM tomorrow.
Hopefully someone else that knows all the fine points can chime in and give you a more compete answer and/or correct anything that I may have gotten wrong.
Edit: See ACL's answer. It is better and more correct than mine.
Hi DAL88Driver,
Thanks for the reply. It looks like I obliged the company 14 minutes. And I'm not complaining about ANY of this. Like I said, I live in base, and would not/won't change anything about my plans today (unless i get called out, of course). I don't mind helping a guy out (OR my company) from time-to-time. But if I'm being taken advantage of, I at least like to know it. It doesn't look like the company was "mis-behaving". And again, it wouldn't much matter if they were. I just like to know where I stand in the matter. Thanks guys, you've answered my questions. Happy flying, all.
Chuck
