Anyone seen the am out and backs on the 727 that show between 11:00 pm and 1:25 am? Most of these trips will be flown by B reserves. This has happened to me the last two years. After show goc tells you that they have no planes and that you are to just hang out. Last year we had not launched by 8:00 am and we called fatigue. The duty officer preached to us about professionalism and how all those flowers won't be delivered because of us. I told him he had all night to get an A reserve crew to fly it as I had been awake now for 27 hours. He told me that they were holding the A guys and wanted to use the underutilized B reserves. Later my chief pilot called and said that I had been given 8 hours notice and I should have been rested. Only 3 out of 8 crews launched that night. They have no plan to launch as scheduled, just bring em in and hold them. Looks like the same this year. Thanks for letting me vent!!
