As was said above, it’s not “everyone” getting assigned 2 SC, it’s everyone within your days availability group, regardless of raw bucket, who is also legal for the SC period. So let’s say you’re in the 3 day bucket with 2 SC and there are 10 people junior to you also on the 3 day bucket with 0 SC. But wait, you started LC a day prior and all those 10 people are starting their first day, so not legal for any assignment before 1000. Bam, you get hit with 0600 SC and it’s a valid assignment.

So a for instance a 4 day availability group and a raw group number? The other pilot with only 1 day is SC is in a higher number raw group, guessing that’s where they can get away with this?
Also, it’s a night shift short call from 2000-0500 next day. I assume that’s one shift or would it count as 2 additional as it spread over 2 calendar days?

Also look at their schedule. The reserve list doesn't tell the whole story. Example, training counts as a reserve day but it's illegal to schedule them after midnight.

Thanks fellas. I’m going to give them a call but wanted a little background info before I blindly did anything.
