If I go on call Monday and pick up a trip that starts Tuesday, I don't have to answer my phone on Monday
Question.....
What provisions, if any, are there for a LINE HOLDER to pull that trip from you being a RESERVE Pilot?

The reason I ask, at the CAL, a LINE HOLDER can "pull a trip" that was assigned/or picked up by a RESERVE up to 12 hrs prior to the show time.....IE-The LINE HOLDER'S trip is less desirable (Show Time, Pay, CA/FO they're paired with, whatever the case) and he/she wishes to obtain a perceived "better" trip (ie-3 day for a 3day) that has been assigned/or picked up during a 'window' by a reserve.....The LINE HOLDER has the ability to do so.

Just curious in the example that you presented above, are there any provisions w/in your current system/CBA that would allow such trip to be "pulled" from you (RESERVE Pilot) by a LINE HOLDER during that 48Hr "prior" Int'l window?? If so, would you be back on RESERVE, IE-Phone Availability for that day you anticipated to not have to be contactable?
