True, and from what I have seen, if you have a yellow slip in (reduced RAW) they put you on the Reserve Availability List and previously have been assigned SC. If I choose not to sit SC, I remove my slip and then call them and tell them, that I want a trip, but opt not to sit the SC period. They remove it, and I put my reduced RAW YS back in.
I have noticed that once over ALV they are now removing you from the Reserve Availability List and effectively parking you as long as you do not have a YS in with a reduced RAW. You no longer have to call and asked to be showed "full" for the month.
