Read the first sentence of 25.R.4
A new assignment may be given outside normal order under the following conditions.
Gary et al is correct on this. Yes, it happens. If I had 5 days of availability and they called me out for an early low block hour turn, I’d definitely show up packed and ready to go for additional days. If they’re short staffed enough to give a 1 day trip with 5 days of availability, there’s a chance they’d need to keep the reserve guy going. It’s not an “extension” unless it’s out of the FIFO and bucket system order of assignment.
Yes. Something to add to the list of things to address in the next contract.
