How is it not true?
I am on a preassigned 10am RAP for the month. On prior trip they fly me until 9:45am on my day off. I lost the night home in my own bed, missed my Dr appointment on a scheduled day off (get nothing for losing my day off, no extra pay or return day off), of course I don't live in a trailer in the airport parking lot so it takes a while to get home (so lose until around noon on day OFF), then start at 10am RAP again anyway like normal. Well, you are the only one avail so we can schedule reserves until noon on days off.. WTF? It's ridiculous they can do this. They do it all the time now, especially with redeye finishes at 6am..
Long call gets a benefit with the shift, but for a short call it doesn't help.
