How do you get fatigued on reserve? You can REST/SLEEP!!!
Look, I'm all for using the contract and work rules to get as much pay and QoL that I can, but the use of the fatigue call is for pilots who are actually fatigued. That would mean that you have either been at work or up so long that you can't fly.
Calling in fatigued after sitting on reserve and being in a position where you can rest half a day is abuse IMO.
But, if it works for you, more power to you...
How does the reassignment language have anything to do with reserves? If you’re on reserve and not being used then you’re just on reserve. They can’t call and say “you’re being reassigned to stay on reserve longer.” Reserves have their own protections. Once they’re assigned a trip it’s the same as being a line holder.
If they want to reassign me to get the operation back on track then fine but if they think that just because the contract says they can make me sit at the airport that I’m going to willfully do it for hours on end they have a surprise coming. I think the “stay at the airport” verbiage is for when they don’t want you going to hotel when they know they’re going to have extra flying but haven’t built the pairing or figured everything out yet. More like a “we are checking on legality and trying to see if this will work so sit tight for a few and we will call you back” type situation.
