Can someone clarify whether or not you can get on the J/S during the IAP without harming yourself?
Yes. This started during contract negotiations.
Section 25.H.3. Initial Availability Period. Beginning 4 hours prior to the showtime of his original trip or once notified of substitution eligibility, which is later, HE SHALL BE AVAILABLE for substitution assignment until 4 hours after showtime of his original trip.
If you decided to go home and were on the jumpseat when CRS called you for a substitution assignment, they considered you not available for contact and gave you a Irregularity Response requiring a chat with the Chief Pilot.

Happy that Pilots don't want to make the effort to understand how various things impact their Pay.
Absolutely overjoyed to have Pilots fail to file for the Disruption compensation they are owed in certain circumstances. And totally copacetic with people simply claiming the 10$ or 0$ on a NOCAT pairing instead of the 25$ they are contractually owed.
Absolutely overjoyed we have a Union that doesn't make contract education a priority so the company can violate the contract with ease and not pay the pilots what they are contractually owed.
.... overjoyed to have a Union which agrees to a contract implementation plan which takes years to execute but doesn't tell new members that things they've read in the new contract they were given haven't been implimented yet so they don't go out and get themselves in trouble.
Or in my experience, the type of union where you ask someone about a contract topic while at work and you get two responses: "I don't know." "Contact your sponsor."
And depending on who you talk to in contract enforcement, they don't know the answer either.
