Sometimes they opt not to use us, or in a more bizarre case, forget we are even on short call to begin with.
Ok, how about this: Had I not done the NC method, as the only SC pilot available and with 1:30 from potential assignment to report, it was at least *likely* and legal for them to assign me the trip. Because I used the SC strategy, it would be 100% illegal for them to assign it to me.
