If the computer doesn't do it, the scheduler won't do it. No thinking outside the box whatsoever.
Plus, I know your 7er so is it domestic or international? If it's domestic it is probably because of rest required. If it's international I have no freaking clue.
It was an ABV trip with a 72 hour layover. I still have no idea why I didn't get it.
Denny, the guy who got it (good friend of mine) did not put a slip in for it and didn't really want the trip. Reading the PWA I can't see the schedulers logic regarding this. I'm sitting short call the following day, the trip is the following day, I YS it with one day into my off day. I did not get it but the guy who didn't slip it and was on long call got it. I'm just trying to understand the PWA but right now it doesn't make sense to me. Maybe it's me, maybe it's the schedulers....

I'm probably not understanding the question but I don't see where the problem is. Number 4 in the list is long call pilots and number 5 is short call pilots.
