23.S.3.c A pilot who has been awarded a short call via PBS or PCS shall not have the shortcall removed except by mutal agreement with Crew Scheduling.
Exception: A reserve pilot awarded or assigned a rotation that conflicts with a future short call period will be removed from such future short call period and it will not count towards the pilot’s short call obligation under Section 23 S. 2. c.

Interesting, thanks for that. I guess I never really though about it, but I can also see the argument that if I AM needed somewhere in the scrum, I ought to be able to preserve the preference that 0900 SC (seniority permitting), rather than be limited to the later ones, unless actually YSing it.

Interesting. So let me see if I'm following using my situation as example:
Thursday submit YS for afternoon SC on Saturday
Get 1400 SC awarded on Saturday (day 2 of a 4 day bucket)
Later that day SC is gone from my schedule and I now have a 6am report.
I was assuming that's a legal assignment since I was technically on LC for a day and a half prior to my awarded SC?

They can remove it only for a PROPERLY assigned rotation. If they can't notify you because of rest then it's not assigned and they have to put you back on the SC. What happens practically is they give you the SCC and you don't do anything. (previously described above by tennis)

I think they learned their lesson on pre-assigning rest. They had people who responded during the rest with the interruption needing more rest and people not responding because they were not contactable. It burned several reserves that could have been useful.

Good thing they’re rolling it out to all fleets in September.

I'm not seeing the problem here. If they assign you a 5 day immediately followed by 30 hours of rest, how does that burn them?
