Flight was very late departure out of ATL and land after midnight.
FO lands from his LAX-ATL leg and calls in fatigued….flight cancels for lack of crew.
Can’t remember if Capt was REG or RES, but no rotation guarantee if RES.
Unrelated to Gameboy’s totally inappropriate judging of other pilots’ fatigue calls…this needs to be fixed.
I’ve been bitten by this 3 times over the years. Each time I was already to the airport, in uniform on an X day. It shouldn’t matter REG or RES, if a pilot volunteers to fly a GS they should be protected even if something else later screws up the rotation. 2 hours of suit up pay towards guarantee is unsat.
