Yes they do farm you out to the other domiciles. When they do that, make sure you are booked first class for the DH.

Almost can't use aggressive pickup because they will put you on short call ASAP and then that's an assignment. Can't pickup over that.

Notification before a trip? It's all over the map. mostly 12-14 hrs out because you are on short call.
