I don't have the contract in front of me, but as I recall they call you 24 hours prior to tell you that you are on recovery flying. When I was in your boat, they called me right at the 24 hours prior point. There was nothing in open time for me, but they couldn't release me prior to the 12 hour drop dead point, so I had to commute up like a good little doobie. At 12 hours prior, you fall off the available list unless they assign you something.
With trips in open time, as others have said, I'd lead turn it and try and get something you want.
