I know you only get block when you go from x day to on-call day, I just don’t understand the rules when the scenario is flipped, but it’s greater than 18 hour call out. I don’t have a computer nor my efb atm. Tyia
A reserve GS "less than 18 hours to report" actually has nothing to do with the time between the ARCOS callout and the rotation report time. It simply means is it a rotation that you otherwise couldn't be assigned as a standard reserve assignment. For example, coming off a vacation day scheduling cannot assign you anything that reports before 1800. 2 days prior at 0900 when they run coverage, they can award you a GS "less than 18 hours to report" that reports at 1759. So over 48 hours prior to report you can be awarded a GS "with less than 18 hours to report". This confuses many people.
Having said all that, since this was a multi-day rotation that started on your last LC day you were not eligible to be assigned the rotation as a standard reserve assignment. Scheduling should code this as F on the daily trip coverage report (not G). This code will correctly apply the first duty period's pay above reserve guarantee. The net result in this instance is you get the full rotation value above guarantee (day 1 F code and days 2-4 on X days) plus either 2 PB days and a PR (if the rotation released before 1500) or 3 PB days and a PR (if the rotation released after 1500).
