It also flows the other way. I had an instance when I knew the trip should have been assigned to me and it was given to another pilot. I made the call to scheduling to help me "clarify my understanding of assignment methodology" and the scheduler realized their error and flagged me for pay since it was too late to remove the other pilot and put me on the trip.
