And no flying. And last night somebody stole my bicycle from outside my crashpad.

I believe the reason they started 0400 short calls for MD88B in SLC is so they have someone they can stick on the 6AM to ATL deadhead to cover if they run out of you guys out there.
I am a SLC commuter and for my last 6 day stretch I was expecting to have a SC schedule much like you posted. I was surprised to instead get 0900 short call the first day (and was released early for my flight home) followed by two long call days and then a commutable three day trip. QOL certainly had a boost this month; only two nights in a SLC hotel - but I'm sure the reserve karma gods will catch up to me soon
