First ask yourself the question: From what bid package/base did that flying originate. Out of base reserves flying uncovered open time is standard procedure for "system reserves" at straight pay. Now go look at the other bases and view daily trip coverage and see how that flying was assigned. If given out as a normal reserve assignment then you have no valid gripe. Scheduling will try and maximize the use of reserves, even out of base reserves to cover trips.
