If those don't work, you can always call in EMER and just say you're not flying it. Crew Support does not need to know WHY you're calling in EMER. You could be sick, or you have something better going on, and you could not DROP or POST it successfully.

It's best to call in EMER before two hours to report time, so they can assign a reserve to it with a a two-hour callout.
