You're responsible for that trip officially until 7am the day before. Technically they can give you the trip back up until that time. You can't pick up anything in open time or from the trade board that touches the footprint of that trip, but you can put in a RTF over the same day.
If you do that, CS has to call and offer you a trip before they give it to a reserve pilot. You can turn down the trip, so don't be afraid to answer the phone for free of being required to take the trip.
On a side note, if you see a trip disappear from open time you would have liked to fly, check and see if it was assigned to a reserve pilot. Sometimes CS forgets to call the RTF guys. If that was the case, you will be pay protected for that trip also.
To answer your original question....if they do call and you accept a trip over a DFT, you will get paid for both trips (the one you got DFTd, and the one you fly)
Good luck.
