I think it is outrageous that it can be a DP because it is unsafe, but they can be assigned to reserves. Let's worry about the 90% of the DP's in MEM that are being flown by volunteers.
Uh, hold on, before you burst a blood vessel...

MD-11 MEM CAP pairing 16 assigned to a reserve (a poster on this board!). Finally, we have a DP assigned in the only acceptable way! Yayyyyyy! Goody goody, gum drops!
There, feel better? Look, I'm not calling out a reserve for flying a DP, just pointing out how it was assigned, I just assumed that you knew, that I knew, that you knew that I knew....... Sheesh! I'm the guy that started posting the links to DPs on this board in the first place (Ask Tony!). I guess I shouldn't ASSuME anymore, for you, huh?
FWIW, I and the "non-volunteer" Capt talked on the phone yesterday about the fact that he was probably gonna get that trip! Expect an indepth written to the SIG!
