Plus if you send an RF to do a partial pickup before 0400, lately I’ve been seeing swaps and drops sitting on it rather than action it by the next day like they’re supposed. I guess in the hope someone else picks it up as a full trip so they don’t have to break it up or it gets assigned in advance to a reserve pilot that needs consolidation.
