SR22, Thanks for your your posts. Very informative and thought provoking. I am one of the guys on the receiving end of this dirty stick. Sitting "Hot Call" with no idea when rest begins or ends and having to be ready to fly (wheels up in one hour) is brutal. I am obligated to sit for days and be ready at any moment to go, no rest period even remotely identified by dispatch. No adult beverages during what could be indefinate days of hot call. BTW this little dance can go on the entire 18 days of my rotation. Thanks for your post.
