They I heard that the company was calling people, and if they didn't answer, it was not longer a decline of sub, like it used to be, but something else, I can't remember what.

Can someone clarify whether or not you can get on the J/S during the IAP without harming yourself?
This is what I do in situations like this.
I communicate. I call Scheduling and ask them what's what? Anything happening. And then I tell them I'm on FedEx 1234, and will be unavailable for about 90 minutes in my case. Let them know that I will be declining any Operating trip, but will likely accept any DH to work trip but that I will check VIPs as soon as I land and let them know ASAP before I start driving home.

I do the same thing when I'm HSBY and it's Dinner\lunch time. I call CRS and let them know I'm on my cell.

Or when I'm unavailable during a flight physical.
