6. Acceptance or Rejection of Substitution Assignments
a. A pilot shall accept or reject a substitution assignment when offered.
However, when a pilot learns of a substitution offer through VIPS prior
to his initial availability period, he shall have up to 24 hours, or until 4
hours prior to
to accept or reject the assignment, except that no
assignment may be rejected within 4 hours of
showtime
, whichever is
less, to call CRS and reject the trip
. Failure to reject the assignment
in that time frame constitutes acceptance of the assignment.

The way I read it, is now if you read a notification for a sub assignment on VIPS < 4 hours, you have to take the trip.

New language, to me, means the same thing.

Solution both scenarios....dont check VIPS within 4 hours.

Read the language as it is now. Then read the language rewritten. I think the meaning is the same but they just changed the order.

When you are notified of a sub assignment, you must accept or reject it, whether it is at show time or some other time. But if you get notified before your availability period (4 hours prior to original trip) you have up to 24 hours to make your decision. You just have to make it before your availability window (4 hours prior to original trip)

That's how I read it.

This is how it should have changed to make it less confusing

This should be on the back of the door of every bathroom stall in MEM.
