One can put notification restrictions on any general m/u submission requiring 2, 3, 6, 12 or 24 hours notice to avoid such a problem.

Do these assignments show up as a light green RX on your calendar?

No. That’s a Reserve extension that you agreed to at some point.

Why does somebody get a reserve extension for a trip that 6 people have put in for?

Because it's cheaper to have a reserve fly a trip over 2 scheduled R-days and 4 extended days, than to pay someone else full price......maybe?
Since we can't tell if those 6 who put in for it were doing AVA, volunteer or a trip trade/makeup request, isn't it possible they were all trying to get it at 150% and there was a cheaper reserve available?
