Well I should say his karate instructor broke it.... So I get to fly over to Pullman and drive him back on either thursday or friday. Whoopee!!
Oh yeah might has well throw this in too! I start my 6th, yes 6th, day of shortcall at 1500 today, the 8th of Dec..... That's with returning from a trip on the first and 24 hours off given by CS.... :^)

Dang it, I thought there was a cutoff age ;-)
You know I sat my first sixth short-call last month also with a 155 RAW, and the other guy had a RAW of 39, 0:00CR and 3 shortcalls.
I think seniority should matter on reserve, but some people doing everything and others hardly lifting a finger isn't exactly how the lineholders roll, so why do that when it comes to reserve?
With the upcoming FTDT changes shortcall is defined as "duty"
With that, it should be possible to argue the contractual ADP of 5:15 applies to that duty-period.
AFAIC shortcall should be in open time with a 5:15 credit.
Scheduling posts the start times and length and anybody can pick it up/yellowslip the shortcall...
That would let seniority really matter on reserve...
And conversely fill up the suckers stuck with it if everybody else had their say.
But flying every day to nearly full AND sitting six shortcalls isn't exactly equitable...
