Not as bad as the rules that prevent us from moving X days and trading trips. Why can't we move/trade something inside of 72 hours?? The LC window is 12 so it has no effect whatsoever on covering a trip as long as it is outside of 12 hours.
Also, PBS gives me one day off between on call days TWICE in the month of December but I can't move X-days that will create another single X day between on call days. PBS is getting very good at building reserve schedules that will not allow you to move any days due to these rules by violating the same rules when building your schedule.

PBS will also put up to 9 reserve days in a row which I don't have a problem with, but then you can't put more than 6 in a row when trying to swap things around. Frustrating that it's not a two way street.

If you are a commuter, better to get released and not commute at all.

I had a line check recently. The LCA told me they no longer require you to ride along on the first couple of legs. Anyway, I had a 4 day trip recently that had OE on it. They called me about 7 am the morning prior to remove me from the trip. My trip didn't report until the next evening. So I had a 30 plus hour heads up. At 12 hours prior, there was nothing on my schedule so I was free of obligation. It is not 23K stuff. This falls under 23G. They can only give you something on the first day after white slips. Make sure to put in preference qualifiers. I chose the shortest trip possible. Why work more when you will get paid for the original trip anyway? You are not officially notified until they call you. I had to go into Icrew to acknowledge that the rotation was removed.

Depends. On an Asia flight I recently DHed on, I sat next to a FO who was going along for the entire trip. The LCA stated that the FO was not qualified until he gave him his line check and he was not going to do that until the leg home. Ergo, he could not sit up front with someone besides another LCA. SO this FO got to DH all over the world.
I find it weird, but this guy was doing it. No kidding.

Johonso. It is of course not a line holders responsibility to check his schedule like a reserve pilot. You notify after the awarded trips are on your LOT the month prior.
If they pull your trip, it is their obligation to call you.
Scambo;
If you report for the original trip, you are then under the control of the LCA. He can release you at the gate as I have had done many times. They may or may not have recovery at that time.
