I've also been assigned a trip when I was the pilot with pre-posted rest, they assigned it to someone below me (RUO) in same bucket who didn't have rest, but that pilot called scheduling and got them to remove MY rest and assign ME the trip.
I'd like to know what that pilot said that I didn't say to the scheduler that got them to drop my rest.
thanks for the input. Yeah unfortunately ive just been on the bad side of it this month. Like you said its just the inconsistency that’s frustrating. Makes me think some of this reserve stuff just comes down to luck sometimes. Ive been used every reserve stretch this month at mid seniority in category and super junior pilots in category sitting at 2-3 days worked so far
