This isn't the norm, but it can happen depending on what routes are being flown.
How were you assigned the trip? Premium or DOT? Reserve assignment? Being that it’s on-demand and not scheduled charter, I venture to guess the pairing wasn’t in the bid packet…?
But then again, I could see a scenario where it was booked far enough in advance that it made it into the bid packet (sports teams knowing their schedule well in advance).
