Correct. The DH CA and I stayed on duty the whole night because we hadn’t received proper rest facilities. We deadheaded back to DFW the following afternoon and were immediately released from duty upon our return. The union sent an email to the pilot group shortly after the incident with details. 175 crews beware when you are ordered to operate a flight that was upgauged from a 145. Check your ops specs to ensure it’s a legal destination and make sure they have accommodations for your entire crew. SOC will definitely take a “ready, fire, aim” attitude when it comes to patching together the flight schedule when using standbys.

Still haven’t heard a single syllable of apology from the company for that debacle, but I did have 3 voicemails from the CPO inquiring about the 3 minute delay we took leaving DFW that night. Just to make it CRYSTAL clear where their priorities really lie.
