1. Does a RES guy ever get double pay for being awarded a GS?
2. If you get the robo-call from scheduling saying that a trip is available at priemium pay....., and you speak to your scheduler and accept the trip, is that a GS even if you haven't put a GS request in DBMS? I think this simply reverts to an inverse assigment but I'm not sure.
3. I am a commuter. If I put in a GS for my days off and subsequently get a call for a GS, can I turn it down (regardless of the report time) if I can't get into position?
My category is throwing out green slips left and right and I'm trying to figure out if it makes sense to jump on board as a commuting reserve pilot.
Thoughts???

1. no, just the day back off
2. I believe it is, but be careful when "talking" to a scheduler. You may be on the hook.
3. Put in qualifiers (ie, need 5 hours notice) If you talk to someone, it's yours. Careful
