Go look at the trip coverage ladder for rotations less than 18 hrs out. VAS is below short call pilots. VAS is not going to save any short call pilot from getting called. It can only be used to cover reroutes. I did 3 of them earlier this year. Pretty good deal with a very low probability of getting called.
