There is something about a 5 am reserve duty that instills trepidation in even the most seasoned pilot. Especially when it falls on Friday. What is it about Fridays that makes them callout magnets?
0501 oh dark early phone call with the cherpy heavily caffeineated night crewing officer saying we have a duty for you. Now at this point it is waky waky hands off snaky and all you want is the sign on time but before you can get a word in the full duty is all over you like a cheap suit. Slow down and just tell me start and finish time.
