Reserve stuff-

The last two months scheduling has been assigning a late short call. Usually it starts at 7:30pm and runs to 7:30am. It's a smart way to cover the last bank during t-storm season. My problem with it is we are not allowed per our contract to do a continuous duty overnight. Ive been assigned many of these over the summer and didn't really care until this last week. It's not a true cdo.

The days prior to this assignment consisted of early am short call with some assignments then a late show switching my body clock. While sitting on this late pm short call I was notified at 10pm of a 6am report. That's a 4am wakeup call for me. Normally not a bad thing but the switching from am to pm to am ect... all week had taken its toll. Plus my raw is 160, I'm pooped.

I know I'm whining, I'm a line holder that chose to bid reserve. Does anyone see this as a way to assign us a reserve twist on continious duty overnights?

Ps. My letter to lahood was bounced back too. My save LAX letter was bumped off the flight because it was on a horizon rj, oops Skywest rj , dba Alaska, feeding delta, but was over gross.....jumpseater left at the gate.
