You can't just call and ask for a trip with conflict. They have to follow the coverage sequence. Someone senior to you likely had GS with conflict requests in the system. By the way, the robocalls do not necessarily look to see if you are legal before calling. I have had it call me as I was driving home from just finishing a trip.
