This is correct, if he was legal for the trip it should have gone to him. The scheduler probably did not want to remove his shortcall, assign the trip to him and then assign another shortcall which probably would go to you. He took the easy way.
“Crew Scheduling will use a pilot's projected status at the time of report for the rotation being covered to determine if he is a long-call or short-call pilot in the coverage ladders. The pilot's actual status at the time of coverage is not considered.”
