That last part is the trick. If you can screen your calls, you might get the details and figure out if you can accept the trip. I think they give you 10-15 minutes to get back to them before they pull the GS and move on to the next person.

With that said, I live in a city that has almost hourly service to a crew base, on company metal. Even at that level of service, there are still dead zones where I'd have a problem making even a 12 hour call out.

To be blunt, the GS system is not commuter friendly. You can do it, but your going to take a disproportionate hit on the QOL.

The robo-call is ALWAYS for a junior manning event, not a green slip. Rules are different.
