Short Call Reserve questions
How does your airline handle Day 1 of Reserve on Short Call? What is the earliest they would put your on a RAP? How are you notified of the RAP start times? Are all RAPs equal length, or do you also get notified of the RAP end time?

Delta:
Day 1 can start as early as 10am, as long as it’s on your schedule by 3pm day prior. Otherwise earliest start is noon.
Short calls are all 9hrs long (used to be 12). You can be released early at scheduler discretion.

Nothing like being junior, and having an 03:00 RAP on day one. I screwed up my bid next month and I'm back on short call. I bid all the later RAP's, and ended up with 08:00, so commuting in the night before, again..

You may want to try proffer volunteer request and try and get a later RAP. You may end up with earlier than 0800, but if you're coming in the night before anyways it's probably worth the gamble.
