What's the earliest time you can be assigned a trip on your 1st on call day on reserve?

After Malaysian's unfortunate events recently, they've brought a former Air Lingus executive onboard to run things. He is apparently changing the airline's strategy to become regionally oriented. Not only are their long range 777s and some 330s on the market, they are looking to sell or lease out their fairly new 380s (6 of them I think). There are a lot of questions what this will do to the pricing Airbus can command for new 380s since new orders are slow right now.
Because he's a zero to hero RJ F/O with zero TPIC to a DAL mainline pilot and wants everyone to know it. He's making great friends at JC. Forget the fact the he's a minority with a "special" connection to the inside of DAL hiring.
One of my trips on May has an "L" prefix in front of every flight number / turn and "OE" marked in the far right column of every segment (4-day trip!), and there's a note under the FO/Captain information that says: "XXX LCA XXXX/XX EMP# TO GIVE 717 INIT CPT IOE TO XXX
XXXX/XX EMP#"
Near as I can tell they've bought the trip.
23.G.5.a. says, "If the First Officer is removed from his entire rotation, he will be guaranteed pay and credit for the scheduled credit of such rotation." I guess under 23.G.5.c.2. they could still require me to DH to or fly any part of the trip, but it looks like they bought the whole thing.
I'm digging this so far.
Questions:
1. Obviously, unless I'm formally notified of being removed, I will show up at sign-in time. If it happens, who will notify me? Scheds? LCA? When? A week out? Day prior? Day of?
2. Based on a search and replies to one of MikeF16's questions, I think if I'm removed I can pickup another trip / put in for a GS if I want, true? Can't find it in the PWA. How soon can I do that, i.e. do I need to wait to be officially notified?
3. Seems kinda early for this to be on my schedule (~2-weeks out); too early to be excited?
