They usually only give you 30 to 45 minutes heads up from pickup time on a hotel standby so I don't see alot of time to address a problem. Anyone?
The only ones they can "assign" a DP to is a reserve, if an R24 guy is given a Hotel Standby I would agree that they are just using a reserve, but if they take MEM guy and put him in Hotel Standby and the pilot was not on reserve I do not think they can assign disputed flying. I am sure the company thinks otherwise but this is a very interesting scenario. I would call Contract Admin as soon as possible to find out.
