Below is part of an email from ALPA
The MEC is aware that Crew Services has been assigning pilots a shortened RAP on their first day of reserve. Their intent is to initiate the rest period early and have the reserve pilot available for an early morning RAP on their second day. FSM D 13 (which is still active as per the Implementation LOA) states that after the reserve assignment process is complete, a pilot cannot be released early from a SCR assignment without their concurrence. We ask that you monitor your RAP and rest periods closely to verify compliance with the contract and avoid any possible fatigue-inducing situations. If you have any questions or concerns about your RAP, contact Crew Services to address them.

The trick to not getting called is 3 day blocks, but that’s IF you can hold it and they award it. With this all being said..in base, reserve is still the way to go unless you can control your line. I keep my blood pressure low, roll with the changes, and find “fun” in the less desirable overnight spots.

people keep talking about this, both on here and in person with me, but i can't find such a thing in the FSM. where is this protection in the FSM compared to the CBA?
the company cannot "change" your RAP once you have been assigned a RAP, without your concurrence, either in the FSM or the CBA. but neither the FSM (that I can find) nor the CBA say that the company cannot assign you a RAP that is only 6 hours long, instead of 10, or whatever.

Contract: R.5.d : the company will notify a short call reserve before the end of the current day's RAP , regarding any modification to the pilot's RAP for the following day...
And because of R.5.a : RAP...shall not be greater than 10 hours.
They can certainly call you and say your RAP ends right now ( less than 10)
And no mutual agreement required.
I don't want to be a negative Nancy all the time with the new reserve rules, so...
I like the auto release on the last day provision.
Bidding more than 6 days on ( curious to see how that will be implemented)
Short call assignment pass (curious again)
See, i can be positive...and i didn't just get back from ' Leading Edge'

Plus side at implementation: max 12 hour duty for trip which touches red eye period. That would have helped me a few times.

We're obviously not on the same page ( which is good for various interptetations) . Fsm ...mutual agreement. Contract...say thank you and accept the change.
And you're correct that the fsm doesn't state RAP length.
