Narrative:

We were scheduled to operate a flight with a show time [before 5 am]. As we were walking out the door; I received a phone call from scheduling. They stated our show time had been pushed back [6 hours]. They still have us scheduled to complete our trip; which has us scheduled for a 14:27 hour duty day. Far 117 has us a maximum duty day of 12 hours plus the two hour extension if we agree to it. They are circumnavigating this rule by converting us to short call; which is not reflected on our schedule allowing them to add four hours to the rap; which brings us to 16 hours of duty. As line holders; this should not be allowed. We were not notified until we were leaving the hotel; which resulted in us being ready to go; and unable to go back to sleep. They knew about this last night and did not contact us. They should not be allowed to do this; the far 117 rules exist for a reason. Converting us from line holders to a rap of 16 hours when we are awake for the entire portion is not okay.
