Yep, and why many pilots put “avoid trips if carry out >0” on their bid.
Also, for clarity to the OP/lurkers, you are not “capped at 72” (assuming that’s Reserve Guarantee). You can be flown past “Res Guar” up to ALV + 15 (which is typically Res Guar +17), so long as you have even 0:01 left on your “Res Guar” on your time card. Or, you can
choose to YS up to ALV+15. “FULL” is only an internal administrative label for CS, that does NOT need to be on your schedule.
When “Res Guar =0:00”, you are done - zero obligation to the company for anything further. Not even to tell them they assigned you illegally.
