Just to be clear - if you get the 12-hour call from the reserve desk and can't make the show because there are, literally, NO flights on any carrier that will get you there in time, it will be listed as out of position. This "missed trip" caveat is for line holders, only.
Just had this happen Sat night for a Sun AM show...no flights from anywhere around MIA to anywhere NYC, got listed as OOP. CPO said they weren't going to pursue anything on their end, given the circumstances, so that's something.
Just know what you're getting into as a reserve commuter.

Nowhere in that message did it differentiate between line-holders and reserves. But they called you out, anyways? I don’t get it.

It seems like an awful lot of pain and wasted time.
Fixed it for you.
