this way they essentially "assign" the trip without actually doing it.
I could be wrong but I think the main reason they don’t call to assign the trip is because you’re not required to answer your phone until your RAP begins. Once you self notify on crewtrac you’re off until showtime, so if that’s not what scheduling wants they aren’t gonna put it on your schedule and risk you self notifying.
