Thanks, I was working with the old scheduling reference handbook. I see that it does go into depth about asterisk rotations now, but I still didn't read anything that, to me, implied that they can just drop it on a whim.
How I'm reading it is that it may be dropped for any PWA/FAR violations (of which there is none in my case), or if it contains a flight segment with a different flight#, within the same duty period, between the two bid periods. Pertaining to duty periods, I don't see where it mentions that they can just drop an entire duty period.
As I'm not proficient in legalese, I'm probably just reading it incorrectly, but still seems like a bizarre and fishy thing to do at any rate...
