I might me missing something (it's not you, its me)....I don't really see it as doing it to avoid OOBWS.
SC's for next day are normally assigned between 1100-1200 Mecca time the day prior.
Sometime after that 12 noon PCS run, someone REG bangs in sick and their next day trip it is now in OT and it just so happens to fall into the time period that some junior pilot has SC.
Report is > 18 hours so scheduler starts running 23.N
1) Recovery
2) IBWS
3) LC
4) SC
5) RES X day YS
6) OOBWS
The scheduler isn't giving it to SC just to avoid OOBWS....they are giving it to a SC pilot because the PWA says they have to.
