Maybe it's because back when the company was drafting at 150%, the same people got called all the time. Maybe they just don't want to wait for a call that will never come. It's a simple fact that commuters have a significantly smaller chance of getting called for a trip that originates in Memphis, even as a deadhead. It's also human nature for the schedulers to call the same folks who they know will take the trip rather than wading through dozens of calls. One call, done! So, when Sally, Johnny or Herman sees a trip to his hometown with a back end d/h and jumps on it,(at straight time), I'd say they got a good deal. Besides, with the current overmanning, all those trips would go to reserve guys, many of whom would rather stay home anyway. Which is better, Sally flying the 10CH trip and Ralphie getting his RLG or, Ralphie flying the trip and still getting his RLG and Sally gets nothing?
