I believe once scheduling gets within a certain time threshold they are allowed to do whatever they can to cover a trip, or so I've been told.
Under 3 hours they can do what is needed to cover a trip however they have to pay protect whoever should have received the award.
Scheduling never makes a decision to cancel a flight. That is done way above their pay grade. Because a rotation was nooped does not usually mean the flight was canceled. If the flying became know less then 14 hours prior to report it can be returned to crew tracking for coverage. (Reroute)
