It used to be one of the only non FNGL situations (other than FAR violation) was tag on flying. I just pulled up the scheduling handbook and it looks there were some recent additions to the policy, including a RR through one’s base.
This was the first time I can remember being confronted with this situation. I guess when a senior pilot gets 13 IA calls in a day I should expect some underhanded tactics.
