When I was at Eagle, they were hosing the reserves particularly bad for a while. We realized that by contract once we had done 3:45 of actual flying for the day we wouldn't get docked for pay since we only got the 3:45 credit anyway.

That, combined with a recent slap on the wrist to management for intimidating pilots who made fatigue calls, allowed for a lot of fatigue calls by reserve pilots. For a while all we had to do was hint at dropping the "F" bomb and scheduling would magically find other pilots to do what would have been our 7th or 8th legs in the day.
