Or why would you have no restrictions but be 12 hours from a base? We have green slip parameters for a reason. By entering a green slip with no parameters, you're essentially telling scheduling you're willing and able to fly the next green slip that pops up. If you answer your phone, according to the PWA, you're obligated to fly it. I'd be willing to call ALPA to clear this whole thing up. I'm just reading the PWA. It's pretty clear, in my opinion. Sorry for the miscommunication.
Ain't no thang amigo.....And so we're clear, I agree. Don't want to fly it, don't want to be called? Pull the slip before you pop the top and put it back in when you're legal. And you are also correct in the statement that there is no language in the PWA that spells out prohibitive conditions to flying a GS (or at all really), but it's a fit to fly thing and THAT? That IS a reasonable defense to me. If you have been consuming, you have literally NO way to get there and forgot to pull the slip as an honest mistake or you cant leave your kids with the neighbor you don't know, I'm ok with that. Take it out and move on....
