MSP-DCA turn tacked on, (not MSP based so legal reroute) into a 8 hour rest for a DH only last day.
Plane was supposed to depart for DCA over an hour before I landed on the inbound leg. I had to eat something that didn't come from the snack basket, so I stopped and got a sub.
Crew accommodations couldn't get me a hotel at the airport and sends me downtown. But no van. Skyhop is five out for an hour. Hitch a ride with another crew (uber cancelled on me twice)
Get to hotel. Get my room key. Go to room. Walk in on someone. Go back to desk.
By the time room gets sorted its almost midnight with a 615 van. (Dh only FDP)
If we are this pants on fire screwed up in March summer is gonna be ugly.

Yikes. At least you got a hold of crew accommodations. I called in fatigued recently and it took over 2 hours to get a hotel. No IROP at all. My initial ready time had to get pushed back due to the delay which made me illegal for the new flight tracking had planned. I’m an optimist, but the wheels are starting to fall off a bit.
