You already get the reserve guarantee. Do you really think that a reserve should get a full day's worth of a trip applied against the reserve guarantee, when you didn't even show up for the trip? Heck, even if you are called out for a trip, then
report and the trip cancels, you only get "suit up pay" of two hours applied against the reserve guarantee. You want 5.15 when you never left your house...due to your own fatigue call?
I recommend reading the contract.
I'm also curious about the circumstances that would lead to a reserve calling in fatigued for a trip assignment prior to the trip even beginning...
