Read the UPA before you do it and comply with the requirements, sure, but I don’t think anyone should be afraid to fake a DH.
I personally don’t call to fake until I’ve landed on my last flying leg… then I check flights and make a decision, make a res, call deviation desk, and then checkin… crew desk has to offer 50% premium now before out of base reassignment… so that decreases odds of getting original DH cxld and having to work.
