Step 2 - The acknowledge window. If you decline your status is "rejected". If you accept your status is "acknowledged".
Both steps have a response window showing the callout time available and inside or outside of response window.The trip is not on your line until it is acknowledged either with your response or an auto acknowledge response.
Yeah, it is confusing. I was using the iCrew input nomenclature for the Yes/No as the first/second step. I have never "split" my yes/no between the two, so I'm suddenly questioning myself on which one is which! After rereading Sched Alert 23-11, I realize I put that wrong in post 105. ARGH!
The first and second (leftmost) questions on the GS form are "Ack" on/off duty which is actually the second ARCOS step. The third and fourth (rightmost) question is "Auto Accept" on/off duty which is the first ARCOS step, and the one you want to say "Yes" to if you want to only get a phone call in the middle of the night if you actually got a rotation. Right? RIGHT? No wonder it's confusing.
