If you're on reserve , get called out for a 4 day trip, pack accordingly then get day 5&6 tagged onto the trip can you call in out of underwear?

Can you expense your laundry if they pull stuff like that? I have some 117 madness that will extend me beyond my undergarment packing limitations in the new year.

Only in Narita under certain circumstances I think. In my case I didn't realize the protection against tag on flying didn't apply to reserves (ignorance on my part). Apparently the lesson is pack for as many days as you're on call. Oh well.

I have seen 25 years of OMG they are going to cancel tons of flights for no crew on a holiday. Somehow it never happens. If you want the holiday off screen your calls and stay home if you held the days off. Works fine lasts a long time!
Looks like at least 13 MD88 flights have been cancelled just today due to no crew. Seems it's a little more than the "Holiday norm".
