It's been a bit since I was on short call. There is a limit to how much earlier they can put your RAP than your regular one on day one. I forgot what it is and am too lazy to go look it up now, just wanted to point out they can't just do whatever they want. There were times I did PVR but I knew the limit and was ready for it if it happened.

You also should NEVER answer your phone. Call them back 15 minutes or so later after you have looked at the trip for legalities.

This shows that you know nothing about the reserve system at AA. If they call, it is possible that you can pass it down. You don't always have to fly it.

In short, if you're a SC and not ok with 0200 RAPs, PVR is not your friend.

I don't think so. As long as they give you enough rest which would mean they would have to end your day 1 RAP early (happneed to me a lot). If you were awarded an afternoon RAP through your monthly bidding expect it to get progressively early each day after during your reserve block. At the very least they have to get you to 10am or earlier by your last day.

They can if you proffer for a trip the day before and don't get it. Of all the incomprehensible nonsense that makes up the reserve work rules, that is the most egregious. You volunteer to work on a day off, get told no thanks, then get your day 1 RAP moved earlier for your trouble.
Do they always do so? No. But it's absurd they get the option simply by virtue of turning your request to work OG down.
