I’ll probably just watch these first couple months and see what kind of report times guys are getting.

As it's currently written, I believe it's a 12 hour call out regardless of report time.
I.E. 8pm call on Tuesday night for 8am report Wednesday morning. In many cases, 8pm is either past the last flight of the night into the hub or darn close considering you need to grab your bag and be out the door and at the airport before that last flight and could likely be before the first flight in the AM will get you into the hub.

Plus, Kelvin is right. I don’t think a lot of commuters are considering how they’d get to work on a 12 hour call out given at the exact wrong time of night for them. This thing is built for the short distance commuter or long distance driver.
