Not long ago I was way way down on the list and they called and gave me a trip. I kept the scheduler on the phone and we went through everyone's schedule.

The scheduler was actually very accommodating and while I caught 1 or 2 pilots that could've done it, it dawned on me that... sigh... a bird in the hand is better than sticking your hand in someones bush... or whatever that saying is. So I said, thanks, I'll be there in 13 hours!

However, short call palooza is ON! And I don't think it'll ever be OFF! I mean when they need to assign 14 SCs a day and only have 17 guys to do it with, it gets kind of ugly. Luckily, they'll have more SCs to give out.

The idea that you won't be senior enough to hold reserve will last about 1 month.
