Sounds fatiguing.
I'm not trying to be a smart a$$ either. Listen, I'm just as upset over this as the rest of you. I've not been able to manipulate my PBS schedule since they started this PPR crap. "Capped reserve coverage". There's other ways around it, and I will use them.
Granted not on a NB fleet, but I do have things that change in my life AFTER PBS does it thing. My ability to manipulate my schedule, using PWA actions, post award has been drastically changed. Fine. It's a battle of one-ups-man-ship here. We have tools in the PWA, I will use those.

Being fatigued on the last leg of the last day "penalty lap" starting with a non-acclimated early show limiting the FDP to 10 hrs is the most obvious fatigue call ever.
I'm surprised they're still being built.

They're rare but you do see them, it's the reason I never have more 5 days on call ever. Even a 5-day is to long for me so I usually only bid them with plans on dropping the a middle day. I'm pretty sure I once saw a 7 day go to a reserve as a Yxxx rotation on the 717. No way I'd make it through that.

Down from what? 100 cancellations? Is that our new brand? And we've had above-average weather for months. What's going to happen when we get another big storm, if we can't even make it through a weekend? All I know is it's going to be epic.

Its all part of the cannon, you just have to tie it all together.
Anyway, repent now.

What do you expect with the GUMMED up sodimizer? When you start building 3- and 4-day trips, or even 5-day trips, with 4 leg days and a scheduled rest of sub-11 hours. I can only take so many 4 am reports to work, 3 legs or sometimes 4.
