I still need to be available on the 31st to take calls because I'm on call on August 1st but I cannot be assigned a trip that touches July unless I yellow or green slip.

Thanks, Denny. Just to kill this dead horse, how about an example. Let's say ALV is 82 hours. So resv guarantee is ALV - 2 = 80 hours. You fly the trips you get and wind up with 82.00 or greater with so many days left on the current month.
So if you don't "call in full" what's the risk? To answer my own question, they call you with a trip or give you a SC by mistake (or some would say by "
mistake.") You then either A: answer the call or see it on your schedule and have to deal with correcting the issue, i.e. get out of the trip because you've flown all you were required to fly, B: Ignore it because you know you're done for the month, but then suffer the @** pain of straightening (talking to more people or the CPO) out the confusion/problems that resulted from this mistake, or C: fly the assigned trip because you either didn't know any better or wanted to make some more money.
Or avoid it all and call in full. Is this about right?
