At 7:44PM, I got a call from (404) area code. At first, I thought "cha-ching, Green slip!!!" When I answered, the scheduler, very polite, as always, said something like "can ya' help us out tomorrow, we need you on another short-call, from 7:30-7:30". I live in base, so I said "sure, got it, no problem". My question is, having answered the phone already, what are my options. Can I refuse the S/C, and hold onto my L/C tomorrow? I'm not trying to bust anybody's chops or anything. I just want to know what my obligations are, under those circumstances. Oh, yeah. I asked the guy at C/S what the deal was, and he indicated that a couple of guys have called in sick. I haven't checked the reserve list yet, but wanted to see what you guys think. Much thanks.
