Here’s a new one for me. Both pilots are on reserve.
Pilot A: 3 days available. Assigned 1 day trip as only reserve available.
Pilot B: Takes 3 day GS over same days aftwr Pilot A has their original assignment. 5 hours to report CS drops Pilot A’s trip and gives them pilot B’s trip citing obscure PWA reference to maximize reserve utilization. Sorry don’t have the reference. Pilot A was unavailable for this trip at the time of the GS assignment. Pilot B out of luck for PB days and rotation guarantee. Told to just grieve it.

If Pilot B showed up to find the trip was removed, they'd be due suit-up pay and 1 PB day. (23.U.6.b.2)
As for whether the change in coverage was legal, would take some sleuthing/tickets to figure that out.
Also, Pilot B may be due pay for any other missed slips as a result of this error or omission change. (23.Q.12.c)

You have to use Micrew to sign in. I've had that happen before where I go to sign in and the trip is gone. If it's short notice I call and ask for short term parking and ask them to sign me in because I'm driving now. That hasn't backfired yet and if it does I plan to say I'm at the airport looking for parking so I am due suit up pay.

Pilot B had no obligation to be contactable (in rest) up until report.

New day, new question: Awarded a SC several days out from a YS, robocall notification about it, but I'm not contactable. Am I responsible for ascertaining the SC award on my own like for white slips, or do they have to call me again when I'm contactable?

If you yellow slipped it, you're responsible for ascertaining an award.

Currently. Should be in PB days 14-15-16 with a PR until late morning on 17th.
SC assigned 1800-2359 on 14th. Zero CNO calls nor anything to Acknowledge in MiCrew. Not gonna touch actual icrew. Tried 3 times calling to get PBs fixed. Disconnected after 30+ on hold all 3 times.
Let's see how this works out. No proper notification not even the legal CNO robocall. Nevermind they effed up PB days again.

Question: Tried to YS on X day. Trip came up that met request but was assigned to a LC pilot (no YS on from him). Does CS have discretion on who they assign it to or should I have been awarded it? It had about 21+ hrs until report time when assigned.
