I’m not trying to have a reg off, full of turkey and wine. There is no limit that is hinged to the start of shortcall according to the alpa guy. He kept quoting me the note below table C where a deadhead will not be counted. The RAP is not shortcall start.
2) The "alpa guy" is misinformed. Short call is indeed a RAP. And the 16-hour limit or Table+4 limit (once calculated) is measured from the start of the short-call.

"A duty period that contains an FDP and ends in a deadhead flight segment will be scheduled to be at least 30 minutes less than the pilot’s applicable FDP limit under Section 12 D. 1. – 3. from report to block-in of the last deadhead flight segment. A pilot will not be rerouted or required to depart from the gate on a deadhead flight segment that is scheduled to block in more than one hour beyond such limit."

They don't always get it right....see the above posts and, as said before, reference 12.D.4.a of the PWA which expressly states:
"A duty period that contains an FDP and ends in a deadhead flight segment will be scheduled to be at least 30 minutes less than the pilot’s applicable FDP limit under Section 12 D. 1. – 3. from report to block-in of the last deadhead flight segment. A pilot will not be rerouted or required to depart from the gate on a deadhead flight segment that is scheduled to block in more than one hour beyond such limit."

Shortcall is most certainly the start of a RAP. Shortcall is not the start on an FDP.
Read the FAR...
FAR 117.21.(c)(3) For short call reserve: For an unaugmented operation, the total number of hours a fightcrew member may spend in a fight duty period and a reserve availability period may not exceed the lesser of the maximum applicable fight duty period in Table B of this part plus 4 hours, or 16 hours, as measured from the beginning of the reserve availability period.

I guess to try and answer the OPs question, where is it written that a last leg dead head is capped by the shortcall start time?

True statement. However, you started your short call at 4 am right? When did u report for your flying leg?

Was short call 1100-2300. Called at 19:45 to see about getting released. “Sure, at 2100.”
Was able to crack my first Dogfish at 2059.30 and tilt it at 2100.01
So in a way, they did me a refreshing favor
