Interesting conversation with Scheduling today:

I called about 2 rotations for tomorrow that were showing in Open Time (NYC320B). Turns out the scheduler NOOBed them b/c she had no one left on Reserve and no one who WSed for them. She said she NOOBed them to avoid paying someone for a G.

Hold that thought...

I talked to a scheduler two months ago in a similar circumstance who said the originally assigned base gets first crack at the trip - to include G - before it gets NOOBed.

These 2 answers are 180 out from each other. Anyone know which one is right / contractually correct? Or maybe it's situation-dependent and schedulers can do whatever they want to git 'er dun?
