Scheduler tried to pull a trip after they assigned it to me, and I queried the scheduler about it and I got the trip back. I was just curious because it seemed unusual. I realize a white slip has first dibs on a trip, but I didn't think a trip could be pulled like that after it has been assigned.
No, but they can try. Now what they could do it put you on SC and then reassign the trip. If you were the only reserve legal for the trip, then, they could follow the RUO. That may have allowed the OB the trip. Since they did not do that, the answer is NO.

What you should do is Acknowledge a trip once you see it, that way they are less likely to take it from you.
