Your a reserve Captain on the 737 in IAH? Can I assume from your post that you are a line holder? There seem to be plenty of red eyes in open time just before the start day of the pairing. A lot of BJX, CCS, ANC, BOG just to name a few. There are still 3 for today H5724, H5756B, and H5N18B. You can choose from at least 4 pairings tomorrow, H5374, H5545, H5567, H5626. BTW I did not check advertised trips. I sure you can find others that will trade their red eye pairing for yours. If wait till about 11pm most of the sick calls have come in and there will be more to choose from. I wish we had more guys like you who like red eyes, because most of us that sit reserve don't. As far as PBS I stoped trusting the so called experts long ago.
