30 years ago. One miserable NE crashpad, one landline, nine guys timed out, burnt out, and p1ssed off. Modus operandi of CS was junior man any sucker dumb enough to answer a phone for a 91 repo since no one could legally fly a revenue flight.
Phone ringing hours straight with a notorious Riddle grad crew scheduler. Cops show up at the house saying our company called them for a "health and safety check" and we need to call them asap. Roger that Officer, we'll get right on it.
Ha Ha Jen, you freakin B, if you're reading this, we know you couldn't see it so just know you earned all 18 middle fingers you got that night of the cold dark airplane on your watch.

Lots of airline crew scheduling is airline based.
A friend from many moons ago was a UA DC-8 FO in late 60's or early 70s. He told of going down to JFK to pick up his pay check (!) and crew sked grabbed to fly a trip. "Don't worry, we'll call your wife". Well, when Bill got home, his wife was madder than a snake, they hadn't called and, in those days, calling home wasn't the thing it is now. Long distance was expensive even for pilots.
i remember the same thing bootleg phones and ATT stopping by, "go hide the upstairs phone" from Dad

Surely there must be a reference in Flying the Line or Hard Landing or Fate is the Hunter or somewhere. Internet has so far failed me, though.

They were not timed out for part 91 flying. If your airline has a process for type 91 flying allowed by the contract you would still be on call. If not then go home. Why even stay in the Crashpad?
