While calling the CPO and having them get involved day of results in the same thing of you not working they trip, that’s technically not a PD as defined in the PWA.
Another data point... (Calling the CPO is reflected as a PD on your schedule.)
I had a trip a couple of years ago on reserve "PD'd" by the CPO after my father-in-law was in a serious auto accident between my commute and report. The NY CPO was awesome, BTW. They even called the next day to check on him, and asked if I needed to PD another day, with zero pressure either way.
