In accordance with health and sleep studies it is only obvious how being on call for a 24hour period extending into also 6days is setting us up for failure-illness-unsafe focus and risking life threatening mistakes. Stop the madness Please

Time to stop the abuse, and focus on safety. These 24 hours on call are unsafe.

24 hours on call, up to 6 days in a row is inhumane. If a flight attendant's duty day is 15 hours, for example, then the Reserve should.only have to be on call for up to 15 hours. And any assignment given (domestically) would have to end at that 15th hour.

Absolutely! I was once on call from midnight to 14:30, assigned 18:30 airport standby then given a red eye San Juan turn out of Chicago. There is no way to predict when to sleep.

24 on call is not only taxing to your physical being it is also taxing mentally.

"On call" is "on duty". To be on call 24. Hrs without flying is as exhausting as flying an assignment. To be on call overnight for availability for any flights after midnight is fatiguing, as one cannot sleep while waiting to be called out at a moment's notice!

I need call out lines and no 24 hour duty call out! That is not humane and causes me to work fatigued! I can't sleep because I am afraid I will miss a call!

Never knowing when to sleep because you're at the mercy of crew scheduling is exhausting. Being up all day only to be quick called for a red eye, or having just come off a red eye, have 11 lousy hours of crew rest, only to be quick called that same day for ANOTHER red eye....isn't safety supposed to be a big part of our jobs? How is having a sleep deprived, exhausted flight attendant with reduced response times at all safe? End 24 hour ready reserve.

The problem with 24 hour call out is being up all day and getting quick called for a red eye. Fatigue. Safety. Not to mentions the pairings aren't safe with a 4am check in and red eye coming home.
