I recently flew an easy turn that sat in open time for about 12 hours on both sides. They had no reserves and couldn't get anyone to take it as a QS, so they had to reroute TWO first officers to do the turn. One of them was illegally rerouted which made turned 4-day QS into a 5 day QS. ...well stafffed!
