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...
There can be both personal reasons and operational reasons for a reserve to call in fatigued. I have done it after arriving from a all nighter and called to go back out that evening with no notice. Home issues can also occur. Expecting to get paid however is not realistic.
