Makes you wonder how often this happens each day…unnoticed.
LOA 20-04 allows them to stop the GS step of coverage all the way into the award window without having to pay a pilot for it. They can only go backward in coverage at that point or NOOP and split the rotation, then begin coverage again for the new created rotations. Obviously I haven’t looked at ARCOS or the TCs, but that sounds perfectly legal under the LOA.
