Further, I don't think I've ever had them not call and tell me about a trip the following day. If they awarded it to you yesterday at 10:30am, then why no call until this morning? I realize that they are not required to courtesy call you, but I've never had them wait until the last minute, ESPECIALLY if you haven't acknowledged the trip or a short call the night before.
I've gotten multiple annoyed messages to acknowledge something on my line, when I wasn't obligated to answer the phone yet - for a trip the following day (and didn't even have my phone on me.) Something is a litle strange about the way this one went down. I'll second the suggestion to call 1800-USA-ALPA. They've got ex-schedulers in there who have access to all the computer stuff to see who/what/where/when/why this one fell through the cracks.
If you don't mind, post the result, or PM me when you find out about the VRU time stamp issue. I'd gotten a little less paranoid since moving to base, but I guess it's back to saving a .pdf screenshot of my schedule at 1501 on my last X-day
