FDX - Hotel Stby in Memphis for 727/SOs?
Riddle me this Batman....
I just noticed a 4-day Hotel Stby in Memphis for the back of the Boeing (22 credit hours).
Why would the company do this with over 40+ guys on reserve each day....AND the standard 5-6 airport standbys per day which often get picked up by non-reserve folks....???

In reality, the hotel stby is a RSV period. They call you short notice for any event. My suspicion is that with all the disputed pairings next month, that the company is "hedging" their bets in order to make certain all the flights get covered? Anybody got a better idea?

Even though many of the YOW disputed pairings this month are indeed longer 3-4 day trips, the guys pulling R24 the past few months are barely getting used.
...still doesn't make sense to me cost-wise with soooooo many guys on reserve in the back of the Boeing.
A reserve guy can't turn down a DP...right?

So, no, I don't have a better idea.

On a side note What's up with the weird airport stby that have been getting assigned. (MEM 11F) An RB guy last night got a 1915L to 0115L Airport Stby. There was a another one earlier this week that went 1700L to 2200L.

I think those were extras creating in anticipation of inclimate weather.. At least, that is what it looks like they have doing on the Bus over the last couple of weeks...
