Lucky ducks... Probably a contract thing that Airways has requiring this...just a guess.
CLT is just a larger base. A lot of flights and when weather or mechanicals hit it can throw a wrench in the spokes. Plus Mesa doesn't want you at home enjoying yourself at the pool while on call.
So they tend to keep a heavy RR rotation going. They want people to be utilized as much as possible. But sometimes it bites them in the butt because your FDP starts once your at the airport.
