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.
You can't use a GS to bump previously assigned trips same day. It can only be the day prior. But otherwise that's a great strategy.
