Short call poll
What is the latest you have been called while on SC? The 14 hr period seams lame considering even at the 13th hr you could only get halfway through preflight before you'd have to give the pax the finger. Is the company hoping for you to get to the airport early THEN extend? The way I see it, you turn into a pumpkin at 12 hrs max (16-2.5-brief-shortest flight)

Yup. In fact, that seems to be the purpose of many SCs....10 hours to report vs 12 hours to report on a long call. After all, Q: why is there a 0100 SC when the first departure of the day is 0530? A: to cover the 0530 departure AND the 1100 &> departures. It's a backdoor shortened long call.

I have been called at the 8 hr mark.
They wanted me to do a LAX-SAN leg and overnight there.
another time I called to ask to be released at 8pm. my RAP ended at 0100 and the last flight for the day left at 2230. They said they could not release me because if they did they could not call me to info me of an assignment for the next day.

Getting abused on reserve; and you thought, you'll go straight to 400 and HKG to get prostate massage. This must have been a Total disappointment!
