If you get back to base at the end of a trip and have to go back out for another overnight because your release said, "CA call scheduling," that's not a reassignment. That's being juniored. Here at RAH (where we don't have JMing), if we're reassigned we have to be back in base within two hours of original scheduled release. At TSA (when I was there, at least), they're more than happy to turn your three-day trip into a four- or five-day.
