I had >12 hours for this trip, but I’ll take a look at the scheduling alert for any that might meet the <12 criteria. Thanks for the point out.

The <12 refers to how soon after starting long call, not how far before report it’s assigned. IOW, you absolutely can have a GS<12 (coded as F#1) assigned 24 hours prior.

This is correct. I had 2 (maybe 3) F codes last year. Each time was because I dropped a RES day via PB day or PD, leaving 1 day stranded followed by X days where I couldn't be forced to start before 10/noon. Each time, the afternoon prior, I got called for a multi-day GS reporting early the next morning. While I didn't get a PB day for that first day, I got the full trip value on top of RES guarantee. And each time scheduling coded it incorrectly as G#X but a quick call to scheduling and it was coded to F#X immediately.

The key factor is < 12 from start of LC to report, not the time between the ARCOS call and report

They could call you 2 days prior (maybe a Malaria rotation) so you would have approx 48hrs notice, but if the report is before 1200 on day one of your RES on call day, then day one would pay above guarantee
