Happens all of the time when they cannot find a reroute pilot.
I have also gotten called told departure is when I get there, only to have them call back and tell me that they found a reroute pilot.
I do my job, and never play games. It seems to work well for me and the schedulers I have communication with. Only a few times have found them not aware of a PWA section, or having not imputed said trip in to my schedule to confirm legality.
Most times they are ready with the PWA section and subpart and will read it to you, if you have any questions. There are "issues" here and there, but with any operation the size and scope of ours that is to be expected. The reaction and resolution are the key.
