Yes, Baron, he is supposed to be rested. We HAD a great way to ensure 2-4 more hours of rest for the same trip call out but it's been flushed down the toilet. What we HAD was a good way to prevent fatigue that is realistic, not just directed.

Intentionally calling a guy in the middle of "normal" rest for a likely 3 or 4 A.M. show will be difficult to defend to anyone outside the company in the event something bad happens.
The problem is, many people are using that "2-4 more hours of rest" as their only rest. A few hours in a sleep room after you've been up all day doing "chores" at home isn't showing up rested in my book.
