Of course there are a few considerations.
1. IAs pay double time.
2. IAs can only be pursued by the company after exhausting quite a few other, less onerous steps of trip coverage.
3. IAs are rare, if not nonexistent, for many categories for months and even years on end. However, they are NOT unheard of.
4. Most importantly, the company can't IA you if you don't answer your phone!! Ringmaster has been around for at least the 15+ years I have been on Delta property, and the ONLY entity that has my separate ringmaster number is crew scheduling. I never answer the ringmaster ring without first checking Caller ID (i.e. either Crew Scheduling, or some telemarketer). There simply is NO reason anyone can complain about being IA'd via a phone call. (I have heard of extreme situations where gate agents will meet a pilot in the jetway after he has finished a trip with his IA for the next day--that truly is a hose job, but again, extremely rare).

Airline in the PacNW, should be easy to figure out from there
If it were only that easy...it's powered from the aircraft, so it has to stay in the cockpit in order work

Perhaps they were prescription glassess tha he needed in oder to see? I often forget my glasses in the plane, or at home, in the car, etc. so I'll often use my sunglasses inside just so I can see properly...
