FDX AM Trip Assigned to B RSV

Check this trip and tell me how they can do this. It is a 0200L showtime assigned to a guy on B Reserve. It came into open time a few hours ago and I was just watching it to see who on A Reserve would get it, and was surprised to see it go to this capt.

Looks like a 0100 show, which is within the B reserve assignment period

0100 show = 2330 notification = B Reserve.

I am sure he hasn't been up all day though.

Last month I was assigned an A reserve trip with a 125pm show time! The good news is, I was assigned 26 hrs in advance, I was still home in NC and it was an east coast deadhead!

Saw a trip where it was an afternoon pop-up trip to VCP. They must have been out of B-reserves because it went to A-reserves. The pairing was revised but the flight show was in the B-Reserve period. How say you??? They added a stby period to begin the trip in the A assignment period. Note when the flight ACTUALLY blocked out.

With this logic and pairing construction, a B-reserve guy could get virtually any am departure...

What happened to the ruling that came out of the AA LIT crash? Aren't there supposed to be limits regarding Reserve and Duty?

If this was a domestic trip, it would have been illegal since it went 4 hours past the end of his Reserve Period. International trips do not have this limitation.
