Because I exercised the NC clause, they cut up the trip and GS'd the first part of it, I didn't get any more calls on that SC or my SC the next day.
More data would be needed in order to conclude that the no-contact provision was the reason you did not get the trip. I was sitting on short call last month and received a green slip notification for a trip departing within my short call RAP, consistent with my days of availability, and for which I was legal to be assigned as a reserve. Sometimes they opt not to use us, or in a more bizarre case, forget we are even on short call to begin with.
