This brings up something that I would love for you guys to explain to me. I hear a lot of complaining about 24 hour SC. Why is that bad? If you are sitting a 24 hour SC, you can only do one every other day at the worst.. (Don't get me wrong, I think that SC should be paid more.. but that is a different subject) whereas if you can only do 12 hours.. or 14 as in the new regs.. you can essentially be on SC for 7-8 days in a row.. Why is this "better"?
The really lousy thing, they don't ever want to use their SC pilots. Only been called out twice in 7 months.

Sunday (off day): Check schedule at 1500, SC next day at 0500. Commute to NYC on day off.
Monday: SC from 0500 to 0500 on Tuesday.
Tuesday: End SC at 0500, no trip. At 10am, they assign SC for the next day. Surprise, you get it again! Can't commute home because I have SC the next day too early to commute in.
Wednesday: SC from 0830 to 0830 on Thursday.
Thursday: End SC at 0830, commute home only to find a 3 day trip on Friday. Report time? 0700. Turn AROUND, commute back to NYC.
Rinse, repeat.

Here's how it can go - and has happened to me in NYC.
Sunday (off day): Check schedule at 1500, SC next day at 0500. Commute to NYC on day off.
Monday: SC from 0500 to 0500 on Tuesday.
Tuesday: End SC at 0500, no trip. At 10am, they assign SC for the next day. Surprise, you get it again! Can't commute home because I have SC the next day too early to commute in.

"It was 2:30 a.m. Saturday morning when the beating occurred on the steps of the historic Second Bank of the United States near 4th and Chestnut Streets. Kless, his girlfriend and another woman left Lucy’s bar on Market Street and headed to Chestnut Street to hail a cab. "
Holy crap... I've been jogging right across the steps of 2nd bank and all through that park in front and that area, couple times a month. And walking to/from bars on Chestnut and 2nd, via 4th st, several times in the last few months, after dark. The place looks completely safe, I would never suspect something like this there if I hadn't read it. This is pretty depressing, PHL was one of my favorite layovers due to that exact area's niceness and some great bars there...
