Another pilots sees the trip in the daily coverage and calls scheds and says since you are short I will take the trip on a out of bases WS. They move the trip to get you back into their hip pocket on reserve. The fact the scheduler agreed to keep you on the trip tells me this is the case. If it was a mistake he could have simply told you to bad. There was more to the story.
