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?
In your example of flying to 82 (ALV) if your next day is a RES day, then the FULL should show up on your schedule as soon as the last trip is complete. However, if you have several X-days following the trip that took you to 82+ (even 80+), then the FULL will not show up immediately, unless you call them. There have been some mistakes by schedulers where they put you on SC when you were FULL but a trip will not go on your line. When they start assigning trips for your first day of RES after you are FULL, then the computer will recognize that you are FULL. Clear?
