PS-Any help with the contract is greatly appreciated. There were 3 trips in open time for tomorrow and I had the 2nd lowest RAW score so I was certain I'd get called. Now the trips are gone and nothing on my schedule! I've got some serious learning to do.
How many days of availability did you have? Not sure about the two 3-days, but I tossed in a yellow slip to get the 4-day trip that was in open time. If I hadn't done that, I doubt I would've gotten any of the trips. But that 4 day covered my next reserve stretch, was commuteable, and had 24 hrs in PVR, so I couldn't pass it up.
If you still have a copy of the MEC Scheduling Alert 09-05 that was put out in early December, it has a really good explanation and example starting on page 5 of how trips are assigned to reserves.
