I changed the “no” to “yes” on the GS request for acknowledging if you’re on duty, and immediately got a call from Arcos for this trip and selected it. Nothing further happened for 20 minutes and the trip sat in open time unawarded. I called scheduling before heading to the airplane and she checked with my scheduler and said there are no uncovered trips. All GS have been awarded, so I checked ICrew one more time and the guy who ended up with the trip was a 2800ish seniority number. It looked like it was covering it with a 7900ish number when I saw the 2 guys on the daily trip coverage with their names on the trip at different times.

It was really weird. I’ve seen back in the manual days where it’ll show the pilot on there while they are trying to contact him/her, but with Arcos, I would have thought a pilots name wouldn’t be there until it’s official. And for it to go 5000 numbers senior to the numbers I saw when it was bouncing between daily trip coverage and open time...I can’t understand what was going on.
