Correct. When you are pulled for training, you have three options: 1) sit the original footprint of your trip for PPSK (PWR pg 39), 2) agree to sit a 10 hr TOA for PPSK of your original trip plus 3.5 ABG or 3) decline the footprint and get the day off, but forfeit the pay protection.
If you sit footprint, any trip they assign you must conclude within the original footprint or you don't have to do it. The TOA option, while paying an extra 3.5 ABG, now subjects you to up to a full 16 hour reserve day and all the abuse that can (and does) come along with it.
I always decline the footprint. The sanity gained by not being on call here is worth the loss of a few hours pay to me. YMMV.
