It is different from a turn back in that you are beginning work from your day off (OT) and taking a sequence that transmissions into your work days on reserve. It impacts proffering because it takes that pilot out of the proffering que as well as the whole or parts of that trip. You may not be able to escape your 0400 RAP assignment. Volunteer list is when you are already working or you want to be called for a JM on your day off. This scheduling practice appears to be a gray area but I don't like how it affects the proffer window as far as getting out of an AM assignment on day one.
