Im assuming the trip will instead go to the next guy in the 2 day bucket, as I will get my desired short call RAP. (I’m assuming they don’t get many people requesting to be put in short call)

Scheduling ignores my yellow slip request and instead assigns me the trip on long call instead of placing me on short call. Scheduler told me they cover the trips via long call first THEN look at the yellow slips for SC. Is this correct? I think it sucks, as someone else will probably get a short call RAP they don’t want and I’ve got a trip I don’t want. I’ll call DALPA later, it’s too early this AM.

They have always covered the trips first and then assigned shortcall. It would be great if they did it the other way around because as a senior reserve you could really manipulate trip assignments.
