Sorry to hear that man. I have never had any of the above happen to me and I've only had 2 calls all year that were usually early (prior to 5am). I usually get a call one or two days prior with a nice 3 or 4 day trip. I've worked reserve at another regional and this is cake compared to what I went through before (19-20 days of sitting hot reserve at the airport per month).
