That phone call will be listened to by the scheduling committee, and I suspect this will be on the Company’s desk at 0800 Monday morning.
It stopped being an omission when the scheduler just said we'll push it to 23M7 for processing (28 hours out) and argued with the pilot when he mentioned the contract allows for fixes up to 2 hours prior. If he hadn't called and then stood his ground, this would have stayed. Zero trust that they'll do what they agreed to.
