An easy turn (say ATL-BHM-ATL) on a LC day as a F-coded GS pays 5:15 above guarantee. Kinda like a credit surfer's WS. No PB for it but it's not a bad deal at all. Can be an even better deal if it also ends up wiping out an existing assignment that would have just been towards guarantee.
Say you have a 5-day stretch of reserve, and have been assigned a crappy 5-day trip that reports at 1800 on day 1. Arcos calls the evening before with an easy turn at 10AM GS. I'd take that for 5:15 above guarantee and get bailed out of the 5-day trip.
