This is a productivity and efficiency move. Reserves were essentially useless to them after 9 hours and now more of the 24 hour day is able to be useful on SC. 9hr SC, 10hrs rest, and then back to SC. That's a 3 hour gain in SC usability. I rarely do all 7 SCs in a month. I think that will now change. That would result in fewer reserves required.
Nobody thinks this is an intentional effort to attack QOL,. But, this is an intentional effort the find additional efficiency and productivity within the contract (as they always do.) However, any change which results in productivity means an equal reduction in (increased SCs and flying affecting the good deal reserve) QOL.

I’ll say it again. They can do this today. It happens to me. I get released early from SC for an earlier short call the next day or a trip the next day. Nobody has come up with a single scenario that a 9 hour SC lets them do that they aren’t already doing. If they wanted more guys on SC every day they don’t have to go from 12 to 9 hours, they could just have more on 12 hour SC.
I get it, their reasoning seems weird. It might just be 5% usage, but they are giving it up for no apparent reason other than to be nice. I see why people don’t trust it. But there is no concrete way that this helps scheduling.

They are giving up the 5% because they don't need it and they will use more or all of the 7 SCs now. This reduces the number of reserves required and deploys them back into the first 9 hours sooner, gaining productivity. Yes they CAN do this now but don't as a policy. Doing it all the time as policy creates more efficiency.
If most categories don’t max out on SC, and they need more, then why don’t they just assign more 12 hour SC?

This will shift us to a more short call based system. Delta’s long call is an anomaly in reserve systems. And much less efficient.

Because the last 3 hours are statistically useless. This will result in fewer reserves required because they are more useful and productivite. (fly more, not just saved for emergencies)

Just because you keep repeating this doesn’t make it true. They can assign more SC today. And they don’t do it.
