Not 100% sure, but yeah, I believe they can. You are basically at the mercy of the IOE scheduler and the LCAs schedule. Did you not get the letter at the beginning of training from the scheduler asking you to call if there were any days you needed free? No garantee that you'd get them off, but they do try and honor requests.
