Narrative:
I was quick called for a redeye turn. On 24 hour reserve call out; there is no way to prepare for this trip. It's almost 10 hours of flying through the night; with no crew rest. You would never let the pilots fly this trip; so why flight attendants? Should things go terribly wrong or we had a serious medical event; we are in no way rested to do our duties to the best of our abilities. The most dangerous part of the trip is my drive home; as I've been up for close to 24 hours. It is incredibly dangerous; and inhumane.
